I'll burn these up before I try something new.
to be honest it's just the opposite.

the bike handles much better off road with knobbies... it's a lot harder to maneuver on stockers... you may not think you're having any issues, but throw a set of knobbies on and you'll see how the bike is SUPPOSED to handle off road. I guarantee you, do that and switch back to stockers... and you'll see the difference we're talking about.
