Would changing tires, on a 29er ss mtb, used for 50/50 road/(gentle) offroad, from 2.1 medium nobbly to 1.9 mild nobbly make a revalatory improvement on the road while only slightly negatively impacting the offroad or will the changes pretty much cancel each other out?
The size change is a negative all round, but changing to a smoother tyre will improve tarmac enjoyment a lot and might even be a positive on some off road surfaces too. Only soft mud and sand need a lot of tread.
