Knuckles on street?

Anyone know how they wear on the street? Is is not too bad, or is it still hell on the tires like for most?

Thanks.

they are better than most, but the street still wears out any treaded tire fast. i have a set of slicks i use for an indoor clay track, they are made from worn out K2's just dremelled smooth. they hold up great on the street

I had some Knuckles that I drove on the tar some, they lasted muuuuch longer than my stock tires. It still wears them a lot but not as bad as other tires.

Anything with an off-road tread will wear pretty fast. I'd suggest getting some road rage tires and using those on the street. I think I saw somewhere where foam tires are actually manufactured for buggies.

I run moabs. Nice as an "all terrain" type of tire.
