I've run one of these in the past and was most satisfied with the performance. I mostly buy oem take offs so plenty of wtb, bonty, schwalbe, and even some maxxis.
My conditions are very different to the shore. I think the closest conditions to me would probably be socal or maybe colorado.
I currently run a bontrager xr4 at the front and minion ss rear. I ran this combo all winter and found it to be exceptional.
The xr4 isn't as god like as a dhf/r but it's still a very good tyre. It falls behind when it comes to really agressive riding, but I find its ride to be predictable, and controllable.
I'm pretty committed to running a semi slick on the rear of my trail bike. My main trail is a well drained mix of dusty and hard packed that it works well on. I've ordered a dissector to try on the front, and a dhr as a backup (it was cheap). I will definitely be trying the dissector out back too.
