On my small bike (transition scout 150/160mm) that I ride primarily north shore and Squamish and mostly stay on the steepest, rockiest janky trails, I use an Assegai maxx grip dd on the front in winter (in summer I uses a DHF did maxx grip) and a maxx grip DHRII DH on the rear (all seasons). With pressure of 20 front and 21 rear for winter and 21/23 in summer. No inserts on this bike or my DH bike for that matter. Seems to meet all my needs.
I used to run lighter casing but had to run too high pressure to avoid flats or dings. The heavier casing works great for my 92kg weight. Rolling resistance is Meh, and I am slow as shit going up, but care more about the down anyway.
