My current favorite for pairing with the Mary Soft is a 2.3 Specialized Eliminator BLK DMND. Tough casing, rolls decent and the grip is very good at the rear. Has lots of braking edges which i like. Not the best in mud but thats not my priority.
Before that i had a Vittoria Martello (rolls incredibly well but is fragile), a Hans Dampf Super Gravity (tough, good grip, but rolls badly). Probably better to just run a second Mary instead. And a 2.6 Specialized Butcher Grid (rolls well but less braking grip than the Eliminator). Specialized sizing is a bit weird. The 2.3 x 29" Eli is almost as wide as the 2.6 x 29" Butcher.
