Coefficient of rolling resistance

[QUOTE="berkeman, post: 6836720, member: 8921"] How aggressive is the tread on your MTB tires? If it is pretty aggressive (lots of space between the knobs), it will have pretty high rolling resistance on pavement. Most of my MTB rides involve about 50% dirt and 50% asphalt with lots of hills, so I typically ride with street pressure (65psi) unless I'm going to be doing steep slippery hill climbs. One of the best discoveries I made for MTB tires that you are riding both dirt/pavement with is to find tires that have a ridge structure down the middle, but still are aggressive enough off centerline to provide good traction in dirt and mud. This is the tire I'm currently running: [b]Bontrager Connection Trail Tire 26-inch[/b] [ATTACH type="full"]319508[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.summitbicycles.com/product/bontrager-connection-trail-tire-26-inch-369774-1.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
