smooth less likely to pick up stones and throw them into fabric
low inflation on stiff tread tire can cause rolling resistance on touch
down, tendency to swerve or pull to one side a bit
sand spurs can go thru thin skinned tires-cause lots of little slow leaks,
less likely with thicker tread type tires
pick what works for your situation

Would there really be any reason to use knobby tires? Other than a few treads
for water to go through on wet pavement, it seems like like you'd want the smoothest
tire for the most traction. I mean, since the wheels aren't actually driven
by the engine, there is no need to have "gripping" treads. Knobby tires
would serve no purpose other than adding drag, right?
