High praise indeed! Personally, I hated the damn things.

Never heard of anyone trying Lasertec on an 21" wheeled XT? Always a first time for everything. Go for it, you never know what works/what you like with tyres until you've tried them. It's all well and good reading the opinions of others, but they'll never give you more than a rough guide; an idea of where to start. Even then some people's opinions are like chalk and cheese - as you can see already, I hate Tourance, yet you love 'em!

There is (fortunately) a much better choice of road bias tyres for 21"/17" wheeled adventure stylee bikes than there was five or ten years ago, and most on the market are pretty decent. Conti TrailAttack, Bridgestone Battlewing, Dunlop TrailSmart to name just a few...
