Cyclocross, commuting, and light trail riding are all disciplines that require a lot of different treads depending on conditions. The Kenda Kwick is ready for a lot of different conditions. Using a relatively low profile center with more aggressive side knobs, the Kwick rolls fast enough to be ridden on the road or on your way to work, but has the grip for dirt road cornering or even a little light trail riding. The Kwick is a great all-around tire that won't break the bank.

Well, its early on one of these as a mismatched setup on my on/off road bike. I like riding a knobbee in the front for control, and a semi slick in the back for min. resistance. Until this swap, I was having trouble with rough tires wearing out to quick - or way to much resistance for long on road rides.
With only 450 miles on this guy, I am super satisfied. I have had downpours - sleet/hail - dust - and tight corners thrown out there, and it keeps on ticking.
I expected all the glass and metal scrap on my daily path to shred these within a couple months, but only 1 month in and the slices are negligible with the same tread thickness as started.
Had to put a tuff liner in for security (no pump) and I have a feeling these are going to last a while.
