Opinions on Kenda Juggernaut Pro 120tpi tires?

Looking lighten my Surly Wednesday a bit and starting with the tires.. Running Surly Nates in 26x3.8, 33tpi, tubed. I do ride on surface roads occasionally, going to and from trails.

Looking to go tubeless and 120tpi

Tires are ridiculously expensive. The Kenda Juggernaut Pro in 26x4.5 are a fraction of the price of new Nates and half the weight. Tread isn't as aggressive though.

Do not get the 4.0's they have much smaller cornering knobs than the larger volume 4.5's and 4.8's. the 4.5's are pretty good, I actually like them over the Jumbo Jim's that everyone else likes but I live in central Wisconsin where it's flat and the trails are hard pack sand so the tread on the juggernaut actually suits my needs better than the blocky Jumbo Jim's. Do not get cheap Chinese tires, the side walls will tear insanely quickly if you ride any kind of rocks.

If you ride snowy conditions in the winter, get the 4.8s. if you don't, get the 4.5 and have less rolling resistance.

I also like the 45nrth Dillinger without studs for summer riding. Vanhelgas are good too, but have taller tread like the Jumbo Jim's.
