    The 60tpi has more durable sidewalls than the 120tpi. Same with the Knards.

    If they sidewalls in the 120 tpi one are anything like the 120tpi Knards, then I’d avoid. Far to soft, flexible, and prone to cuts.
    The 60tpi ones are heavier, but a lot more robust.

    120 tpi if planning to run tubeless as it gives lower rolling resistance and more supple ride. Just ‘killed’ a 120tpi Knard after 3 years of riding, which is pretty good in my book. Maybe consider 60tpi if I was riding in an area prone to sharp rocks and sidewall damage

    I’d like a B+ one too, but it’s the 29+ I’m really interested in
