Continental Kaisers for anything Gravity Continental Barons for trail riding Mudkings for wet racing Black chili compound is a solid mix of grip/durability and particularly good on rocks compared to some other similarly hard compounds. I wish they would come out with a Baron+ though. Not a tough enough tire for true DH tracks but the tread would be excellent for enduro racing. Where the kaisers simply a little too grippy especially on pedally tracks.

For riding loam in the PNW I think the 2.35 Magic Mary's are hard to beat. They're slow rolling on hardpack, but they're not too bad in soft conditions and they seem to get braking traction where more paddle shaped tires like the DHR II lock up and slide.

Maxxis High Roller II in 2.5s is great all rounder in all dirt conditions (also pedals nice) but once they are slightly worn out riding anything steep is tricky. Can get wierd on really hard pack. Maxxis DHR II 2.4s great in all dirt conditions other than super dry dust they get a bit understeery Continental Der Kaiser 2.4s Roll...

I used the Front in the back it's better than the rear specific. The rear specific wears quite quickly and I do find the casing (non DH) not suffice for the rear. Excellent price point!

I like the Assegai DD(F) and Aggressor DD(R) for all conditions. If it gets a bit looser I throw a DHF on the back(I am keen to try the new Dissector in the rear). I don't agree with darkcanuck about the HR2, I live in the desert and to me the side knobs on the HR2 have very little support and feel like they roll over on the hard packed ground, not to mention they wear out very quickly. Just my experience, cheers!

Bored at home... (also a Maxxis fan) Maxxis Minon DHF is the best all round/wet conditions tire that you can run both front and back. Maxxis High Roller 2 is the best dry/desert conditions tire that you can run front and back. To save money I like to rotate tires from the front to the back and put my new tires on the front. Would love to hear you guys tell me how dumb/smart I am.
