They have no traction when climbing... Looks like you'll be needing your running shoes for those parts...

Why don't you just take the slicks from your scummer?
they don't fit
Scary lack of knobs for a MTB tyre!
One line is worrying:

Too loudly when you pass Steve slipping on hills or fixing punctures...
that tear open at the sight of a rock that's the biggest problem, make sure you carry a spare tyre or 2 for 8hrs Steve.

I admit it looks better in this picture:
Are those Juicy Ultimates with red anno bolts? Eh? They come with Ti bolts standard so what gives there?
I have always found Stromlo to be very slippery. Especially with that thin gritty top later of dirt. I think you will find your new tyre very slippery indeed. Quite so, on the fast corners. And Stromlo is a real rock garden in places. I hope your tyre are up to it mate.
At least it's the rear.
That's a fast tyre for hard pack trails, loose over hard pack like stromlo not so much.
