what's your size clearance?
I ride a LOT of dirt, gravel, and single track with my aluminum soloist and have a pair of 25mm GP4000s on there. Over 5000 miles on front and going super strong. I just swapped out the rear and If anything the sidewall issue I came across wasn't caused by any single track or sharp rocks but from running lower pressures (most often 60-80 psi) and the sidewall fatiguing over time. I like this set up 'cause I know it's low crr on the roads but is still crazy durable on the trails.
I'm building up a surly straggler for touring and longer dirt "road" rides and have the Schwalbe G-One set up tubeless on a pair of stans ZTR grails. Have yet to give these a spin tho.
Have fun on the road less traveled!
