Similar to Continental Black Chilli or more Maxxis Super Tacky with regard to rolling resistance?

Just about to order some Hans Dampfs for a new 29er build. On that note if anyone is using that particular tyre i'd be interested in how it performs in mud/loamy type conditions. My reference would be the Conti Baron which i love but it doesn't come in 29er.

Have a Trailstar Big Betty on the back of the Voltage it matters not whether it's wet or dry, loose or hardpack it grips like velcro.

The Vertstar on the front feels like it's nailed to the ground - at least as good as Minion Super Tacky - so on that basis the Trailstar should be in 60a territory.

Have these front and back, trailstar front pacestar rear. grip is unreal, but they are quite slow rolling.
