I've run all kinds of combos over the years. For the past handfull I've gone with a Tioga DH 2.3 rear tire and a variety of slightly wider tires up front. I don't get tangled up in brands as much as a fairly thick casing and large, widely spaced blocks. Recently I was given a Nokian 2.6, and my tioga 2.3 rear was super spent, so I switch the Gozzoladi 2.35 that was in the front to the back and put the 2.6 up front. Used to run maxxis 2.5s years ago and convinced myself I didn't want a ton of meat up front. Well, after putting some fattness back up front I LOVED it. Like HOLY CRAP do I love the feel of that big tread minimizing all the little crap on the trail, plus I can run a slightly lower pressure making everything a bit more supple feeling....rode for 3 hours, didn't notice slower handleing or extra weight...Just putting it out there....Love my Nikoian 2.6 up front.
