They slip on ice..........just ask me! I ride mine on dirt, gravel, minor mud like riding through mud puddles and the surrounding muddy areas but mostly pavement. You just have to be careful. I like the lighter weight, low rolling resistance and width of the my 700 x 40's (38mm actual). I can ride them at lower pressures and I have enough volume that I avoid pinch flats and they roll fast with about 65 psi and I am 265+ these days.
