Hi All, I saw this thread and figured I'd comment... I used the Rock 'N' Roads on my cross country ride along the Trans America Dirt Road Trail <http://www.bikepacking.com/plog/trans-america-off-road-trail-odyssey/> this past fall (5,000 miles, approximately 80% dirt and 20% paved). We used the Rock 'N' Roads for their all-around ability. Smooth enough on the road, grippy enough off road. We also run the 700's tubeless and find that they fit and run really well that way (I did not get one flat all the way across the country). Over 5,000 miles we went through 3 rear tires and 2 fronts on fully loaded bikes, just to give you an idea of how long they lasted for us. We probably replaced our rear tires earlier than necessary, but that's when we had shipped the tires to ourselves along the route. I personally have always thought that the Rock 'N' Road tires buzz a lot less than most tires in their class.
Here is a little more about the trip...
