Just a suggestion, and happy to get shouted down as it appears that I am the only lower mainland rider, other than Ritchey Schley, who likes Continental tyres, but if you want a fast running, sticky compound but long lasting (ish) tyre with good side knobs then consider a Trail King 2.4 APEX Protection. The APEX Protection is the important bit as you get a robust side wall and, by virtue of a smaller range of SKUs, Black Chilli rubber which wears like MaxxSpeed but grips as well as, or better than, MaxxGrip (as people always use Maxxis as a reference).
