So my current set up is F Assegai DD and R DHF DD with Nukeproof ARD. Both tires in 2.5.
I'll probably go F EXO+ next time around as i never have problems with the front wheel, and if I taco the rim it isnt because i had the wrong tire or insert.
As for rear - my sole concern is longevity of my rims. Ride quality and grip are a nice to have, but i'm not racing the clock and i can't afford to be building up a new rim every month (have considered carbon just for the warranty but again $$). I find the Nukeproof ARD is a nice cheap solution for protecting you rim, comes in a 2 pack with valves, and if i really had to ditch it I wouldnt lose too much sleep.
