Deacon, I don't ride "fire roads" but live in a town that is 95% dirt roads. Much like your description, these roads can vary widely from day to day and mile to mile. My Jack Browns are usually fine, but like the 38mm Pari Moto even better. Personally I would avoid anything knobby, especially if its mostly hard pack. If the 1.75 has internal treads, I'd go with that. A 33 is actually 1 3/8. 1.75 is 44.
