I have the antelope hills on my atlantis and my appaloosa, wonderful tires on both. I have schwalbe g one speed 60 mm on my clem and they appear 'bigger' than the 3mm difference would suggest. they do tend to pull a little bit, but nothing I didn't get used to in ten minutes. they just float over everything and would definitely be my 'sand' tire over the antelope hills, assuming they'd fit. I ran the schwalbe on the front of my appaloosa for a few weeks and it fit and performed well, but don't even think about fendering it. never got around to trying it on the rear...will at riv thought it would fit, 'just' depending on rims one used.
they are both mighty fine tires. and if it makes a difference, all my bikes are the biggest frames of their respective types.
