The liners only make noise until they squish down and lock the bead (as little as 100 m at low pressure)
I typically run harder/faster rubber on the back than front.
My XC race rear tires are semi-knobby-ish and have the red stripe (hardest) compound, and the XC race fronts are small knob blue stripe (medium hard)
My all-round tires are typically medium knobs with blue front and back, except when I have the Hans Dampf which have the orange stripe (medium soft)
