>>1998312>The compounds/protection levels do matter. Generally the more protection the less supple the tire, but the better it can withstand punctures/slashes/weight/wear. Weight is a good indicator of this, with more protective tires weighing more at the same size.I knew this was the case for different tires, but I wasn't so certain about the same tire in different versions, but I just checked & the weight of the "nothing" 29x2.00 is 650g and the DD+GreenGuard is 855, so that's a very substantial difference.
I guess I won't cheap out and just get the GreenGuard+DD version since I value durability over speed anyway.
>Just at a glance the schwalbes look better for road, and the double fighter 3's look a little better for offroad.Is it because the double fighters have some slight knobs closer to the center? The side knobs seem more severe on the hurricane but I wasn't sure how much those actually help. I'm very new to all of this since I've basically always ran the stock tires that came with my bike, which in both cases were mtb treads
