I just recently switched out my 2.5 Aggressor rear/2.5 Minion DHF front for a set of Teravail Honcho's 29x2.6 durable casing rear and light/supple casing front, both 60 tpi. Something a little lighter/faster and appropriate for spring/summer conditions but still capable enough for the burlier stuff.
Pretty impressed so far, much faster rolling than the Maxxis combo, and ride noticeably "softer" as well which is nice on a hardtail. I may even try the 2.6 Ehline out back, more in line with this article being more of a semi-slick tire.
