Have you taken it up to highway speeds ….?..My experience with knobby’s is that at low speeds they will rattle you fillings.. Once at speed they will run relatively smoother.
When i used to ride ATC’s down the middle of abandoned railway tracks if you ran over the ties too slow the ride was brutal. Once you picked up some speed the ride wasn’t too bad..
