I have the softest compound u can get with the glads, and i have to say they are awesome, provide massive grip anywhere, but do not go on pavement, i went on there for a tank and they wore very quickly, i have lost the edge on the pins now, and they have shortened a fair bit, I would reccomend getting a set of something else for road for the rear tyres, dirt hawgs, and then have the glads for dirt and grass etc. That way u will have tyres that last for ages, and provide grip everywhere. My mate has dirt hawgs for road, and bowties for dirt, grass etc and hes had them tyres for a year, using them in the right condtions, just rip the old dirt hawgs of the old rims and get a new pair.
