Have a 2.35 High Roller super tacky up front and a 2.1 ignitor on the back, both tubeless running around 30psi.

Been fairly happy with them although they are a hard pedal!

My local trail cannock is well drained and dry as a bone with loose dust and pebbles like marbles all over, especially the DH at Stile Cop. Bike is really twichey on this surface and I was wondering if there is any tyre in the world that would grip this stuff? Desperately needs some rain to help sticky it up a bit....

    i ride canncok alot and im using 2.25 maxxis ardent on the front and a 2.1 ardent on the rear on my yeti 575 and on my whyte e5 i run 2.25 aspen on the front and a 2.1 aspen on the rear, both sets work really good in the dry dusty shizzle

    I've been having good results with Panaracer Rampage Sport 2.35 at Cannock.
    They get me up all the pebble and gravel covered ascents. Also great on FtD and the [new] Monkey trail.
    Also great for mud, damp and wet conditions
    Never done the DH section at Stile Cop through

    ^^^^ you have to get to Stile Cop - it is a hoot. Some trails are hard as nails and would result in hospital with some of the jumps for me, but the red run is great fun - not too harsh , nice and drifty with a good few drops...
