The only real drawbacks to knobbies on these bikes is that they wear out faster and cause more vibration, which is true on any bike. If all you do is street riding, having knobbies is pointless. That is why I put Shinko 700's on my bike. Less wear and way less vibration, but still enough grip to handle dirt roads and gravel. If I used my bike off road regularly, it would have Kenda Trakmaster II tires on it.
