Bear with me on this, I'm after a new pair of tyres for my Krampus, so I'm looking at Chronicles..
Just wanted the collective knowledge on if there a real world noticeable difference between 60 and 120 TPI casing?
Or which should I go for and why.. 😳

What's on it at the moment? How do they ride?

120 tpi allows for a thinner casing which more easily deforms around irregularities in the trail for better grip and a smoother ride. They are usually also a lighter weight. But the thinner, lighter casing may not be as durable or cut resistant as the 60 tpi version.

If you really want to see a difference, look at some Surly fatbike tires where the same tire is avaiable in 120 tpi and 27 tpi versions...
