If its purely for road riding. Im not sure how long it will last. The treads are really soft, grippy but I doubt durable for the road. Probably good for hard pack trails.
My original comment wasn’t really concerning the thread, it’s the actual size and volume. I can’t imagine a tyre that large pumping up hard enough to actually use on-road primarily.
I’ve never used a 29+ tyre before, but even my 2.2" feels far too sloppy when I let some air out. Maybe that’s just me being used to hard tyres on my road bikes though 
There’s a thread specifically about that tire:

What would you recommend for a road tire/road uni?
Beats me! I ride everything on the Duro and lovin it:D:D
Actually I love everything I ride, including my favorite Coker tire on the Nightrider, but if I had a Todd tire I might like it even more
…choices…oh never ending choices…
I use a Halo Twin Rail on my 29er, but lots of people seem to like the 2.1" Schwalbe Big Apple. There are a fair few tyre choices for 29ers now! "Official" 29er Tire Reviews Thread
It’s true. It’s amazing how nice this tire is on pavement. It corners really smoothly with none of the grabby feeling or self-steering that is common with larger volume tires.
That said, for truly long distance touring I’d recommend a 36er =).
The only difference is the cover. It contains a new embossed pattern and the width of the velcro holding the removable cover in place (sandwiched under the seatpost plate) has been increased to better hold the cover.
New cover looks sweet.
Yes it does.
It’s also sweet to have a niche sport where we can ask manufacturers and questions and actually get responses. 
I know huh?
It’d be sweeter if we can be their product guinea pigs
Send them out, willing to donate ass and sit X amount of hours on their saddles all for a good cause
I’ll sign up to be a guinea pig, too.
Don’t know if this has been asked before, but…
Any idea of when they’ll be available in Europe?
I mean the complete unis, not just the frame.
Yeah, my fault.
It’s only the 26 that’s not available.
…But it’s the one I would get.
And just for the brag, here what someone say here in Italy about 2015 KH new parts:
Translation:
"To me the real news is the hub that it’s just like the old one but chromed
The moment hub provided more problems that satisfaction.
The new frame saves one weld and probably costs less to be produced, if it’s more robust is yet to be verified."
The “someone” if Marco, the ?owner? of mad4one
Bingo 
I’m already having some doubts on the 26+ format.
If this knard is already hard to get, and it’s the only one… how would it be in a couple of years?
It sounds so bloody interesting for muni, but still…
27.5+ has already 2/3 tyres, and has gained the attention of big companies, but it’s not so interesting imho.
I’m loving my 24, but a 26 would have been a nice addition.
