Surprisingly poor quality
These tires just simply didn't hold up. A 3,500km trip, about 800km were gravel, and they simply wore out. They were showing serious signs of wear on the first day after 400km and after about 2,500km, we couldn't ride gravel anymore, there wasn't much left for traction.
At the 3,000km mark, they stopped holding air. There was no hole or puncture, they just weren't holding up, had to use green slime to seal it up in order to get home from a trip.
The traction offroad was just ok, nothing spectacular, so it's not like you're making up for a short tire life with spectacular offroad performance.
