Knobblys dangerous for the road?

[bank-yuppie]

Hey guys,

 

Just wondering about this....I've been hearing alot about riding on the roads with off-road knobbly tires especially on wet roads. Is it really that bad? But how's the grip on dry roads? Is it still dangerous? I'm fine with not being able to ride the bike on wet days just wanna hear some of your comments.

I believed that is ILLEGAL to ride OFF RD tires in our roads in the 1st place bruda.. kena by ROV b4 la...hehe...and its kinda dangerous as the traction and purpose of these tires are not designed for tarmac...probably u can get dual purpose tires like semi-offrd for rd riding and abit off rd...cheers

Oh...yeah...I was down at Dirtwheels today and the person there told me about those dual purpose knobblys....he said there's a new one out from Michelin or something. Btw, I'm only halfway through my 2B that's why I sound like a total idiot. Are those dual purpose ones still grippy on wet days? They're definitely grippy on dry days right?
