Pretty good tyres apparently buy the people I ride with that use them
Descrete logos too.

I run ground controls on both bikes and love em , fit n forget and use all year round , seem happy hooning down wet twisty tarmac at 35+ and slogging through bogs , I run tubeless on both and at about 20>28 psi, rear on the Soul's getting a bit tired now (2 years heavy riding) and will be getting another the same , don't get sworks ones though as sidewalls and too light and fall apart .

Specialized tyres are as good as it gets for the money. I'm currently using Ground Control up front, The Captain out back. Saved more then a pound in weight compared to the old wire Continentals.

Nice tip with those Big Mountain tyres!
Enjoyed Lance Armstrong's 'how to fix a flat' video – may be he could show me how to score a line too
Oh Lance, it's come to 'ligging' in the LBS now...

Re:
On the grip front, why not get some Oury grips? They have been making them for decades and are really comfy!
