I tried the Black Floyd tires on my Pugsley, and I'm not convinced smooth super-fat tires are a great idea. The tread of the Black Floyd is similar to that of a Schwalbe Fat Frank, but of course it's considerably fatter at 26x3.8". Straight line riding seemed pretty fast, but cornering was exciting and took some getting used to. That huge contact patch serves as a lever against the pavement, pulling the bike harder into turns than one would like. The knobby 3.8" Knards that I installed recently feel much better in corners and roll great on the pavement at 10 psi.
