If you're buying Fat Franks, you're probably going for looks. I've used these for a couple of years now, all year round, on both manual mountain bikes and electric bikes, on all surfaces including the current wet autumn leaves with a child pillion on the back - and i still rate them highly for performance. I'm not shy on a bike but i've never laid one down with the Fat Franks. They're light, grippy, smooth and efficient, comfortable, they can squirm or scrub at the limit but i always know what it's doing.. and people love the looks! Cons? They don't last brilliantly, my rear goes bald in the middle by about six months commuting, the tread is shallow. No-handed riding can suffer fork shake unless they're pumped solid, and i had a puncture once caused by the steel gauze belt splintering.

Not previously tried, lightweight compared to a traditional chunky mtb tyre. They roll exceptionally well making a traditional mountain bike efficient and fast on smooth terrain. Effectively convert off road bike to on road performance while still offering suspension for some rough urban roads. This makes the bike an unusual but very effective hybrid to ride on variety of surfaces without the jarring ride that comes with narrow road tyres. Unintentionally they drew admiring looks and comments from others whenever stopped anywhere. That appears superficial although it's not the reason they where purchased, but surprisingly even apparently non cyclists showed an interest, so asthetically it seems they are attractive if that's your buying intent.
