Andrew - It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on 2.3" tough Vigis F+R for summer riding. I've been running them a few months now (w/o inserts) and really like them. The blocks are spaced nicely across the width and there aren't any big gaps - similar to an Assegai. Braking and support are good and weight isn't silly - similar to a 2.5 light Vigi. I'm running them on a 511 (30mm internal) but could probably go narrower however the support may not be as good.
I chose to run them for less drag (for longer rides) than a 2.4/2.5 but with tougher casings with a similar overall weight but the ability to run lower pressures and get similar grip. So far so good.
For winter (UK) i'm on Verdict / Judge as grip >> weight / drag.
