Mud report: 2.1" Thunder Burts float over the mud compared to Smart Sams. I was stunningly fast climbing up muddy roads and trails (sinking in an inch plus when I stopped and stood on the road or trail, often quite a bit more, once in something akin to quicksand made from clay and decomposed granite up to my ankle before I climbed to a tuft of grass, not knowing how much further to bottom). This comes at the expense of grip, tending to wash out. I had plenty of traction to maintain forward momentum, but things were sloppy on rutty parts with various ridges and valleys. For me, on today's ride, the positive of speed due to floating over the mud far outweighed the negative of the wash. I continue to be very impressed with these as an excellent all rounder.
