A new Rockhopper

Took delivery of a shiny new Specialized Rockhopper Expert SL a couple of weeks ago, got it through the excellent ride to work scheme.
I've already made some minor changes to the original spec...put my trusty DMR V8s on it, plus replaced the bars and stem with a Spank Oozy and Easton EA70 combo. Also swapped over the original saddle for my Fizik Gobi XM - a lot more comfortable!
Also thinking about some new rubber for it. Was considering running a Geax AKA out back (during dryer months) with a possible a continental Rubber Queen or a Maxxis offering up front. Any one got ideas of what would work well with the AKA??
Rides so well, completely different from my Scott, it just handles bumps and rough terrain so much better!
