A SLICK TREAD MEANS THE TYRES ROLL BETTER ON THE ROAD
A SEMI SLICK TREAD MEANS THE TYRES ROLL WELL ON THE ROAD, BUT CAN ALSO BE USED FOR LIGHT OFF-ROADING, A COMBINATION OF SLICK ACROSS THE CENTRE KNOBBLY ON THE EDGES
A KNOBBLY TREAD MEANS THE TYRES ROLL BEST FOR OFF-ROADING THIS IS A STANDARD MTB TYRE, AND GIVES THE BEST TRACTION IN THE MUD.
