So I bought this as a replacement for some older beat up tires I was looking for the semi slick because the bike originally had these on it so far they're exactly what I thought they would be I ride on Sand roads so they're a little bit slicker than I'd like which is fine because I'm transitioning to the point where I'm going to be riding on blacktop. When I do slide in the sand and this is deep sand is like four or five inches and it's sugary it does catch that outer Attraction part does exactly what it's supposed to do and it catches so what it looks like is exactly what it does when you going down the road it's smooth when you're in the sand it's a little slippery than if you had traction but it does catch and honestly most the time when I hit sand I'm done anyway I'm going to have to push it so it's a little consequence to me at all and in the regular sand it doesn't slip so go team I'm super happy
