For general trail and gravity assisted riding, I’m a big fan of wide heavy tyres with low rolling resistance run at high pressures. The gyroscopic stability provided by them when spinning far outweighs the negatives for me. Currently I’m running DHR on the front and a Dissector on the rear. Only because it’s been a very wet winter in Perth, it would probably be considered dry by BC standards. The ground is starting to drain now so at the next service I will put my favourite tyre, minion ss, on the back.
My “XC” bike runs ikon front and ardent race rear. That bike is really just for exercise, so the lighter weight and low rolling resistance setup makes life easier when I am trying to grind out the km.
