Speedy,
Basically you have to show up with two wheels and make a decision. I do this and I'm sure you are a lot faster than me. Its a compromise, you have to consider the range of terrain and overall advantage/disadvantage. I've been running these tires for years now, well before LMS and the fad that caught on. If the terrain is such that, you can use above third gear speed much of the time, you have to think about the knobby. I run the trials exclusively trail riding, because our stuff is very technical and rocky. Also if the race is the same, mostly technical. If its a fast course don't bother, the trials tire is not a knobby replacement, its just another option (a good one).
