Svend:  No reason for guilt. We had talked some time ago about the SB8 and I had settled on that as the replacement tire.  Performance had them on sale and I had a coupon for another 15% off, so I bought two for our rear wheels.  2.1 vs 2.0 so a bit wider, minimum air pressure is 30 instead of 35, only 100 grams heavier, and they appear to be rounder and may have a narrower contact patch on the asphalt. Good recommendation, from what I can see.
And now we each have a backup tire.
Great choice, and I think money well spent.  It will probably give you better control, grip, less rolling resistance on asphalt, and allow a lower pressure when it gets bumpy.  Yeah, and by all means keep the Karmas -- they might work better in spring or fall when things get muddy again.  Now I'm curious to hear how you like the SB8s on the trails.  Let me know....

Did you buy a mini pump too?
