Johannes, I'm just reporting my findings. The rear tire on this Spire is the first SuperTrail tire I've used, I was skeptical, and knock on wood, I've had no issues yet.
As for rubber compound, I like the Schwalbe "Soft" Orange stripe tires on the rear, but prefer the "Ultra Soft" Purple stripe tires on the front around here. We have a lot of roots and exposed rock that are super slippery through the winter.
