Easy, I am riding 40mm Clement X'plor USH MSO on my Sam now in the 120 Tpi version. They are a really good tire. The reason I was interested in the Compass is because I wanted a smooth or a herringbone style tread. In other words more road like since that is where I am mainly riding these days. I can recommend the Clement's without hesitation.
