Soo... Is this a good setup for all around winter use?

Continental Rubber Queen up front & Continental Mountain King at the back?
If so, what 2.2 or 2.4?

If not... What do you reckon?

Mainly ride gravel, dirt, rocks, mud etc...
MTB - VooDoo Bantu
Commuter - Raleigh Grande

    I use the same tyres all year. The UK is generally quite soggy.

    I run Mountain king IIs great tyre with fantastic grip, but not great in mud clogg easily and stay clogged. I tend to go to Mud x autumn/winter.

    If it gets very muddy. Specialized storm on rear, Panaracer Trailraker on the front.
