I bought my first ever bike with suspension in the spring which has a Nobby nic front and Racing Ralph rear.

Recently ( bar Panaracer XC pro's ) my previous tyre combo was Specialised Purgatory front and Spec The Captain rear but this was on a Ridgid bike.

I loved the Purgatory front but The Captain wasnt great and Basically I was waiting for it to wear out to find better.

I don't mind the Nobby nic on the new bike but the Racing Ralph seems to need to be pumped up too much not to deflect when cornering. There is also naff all grip on it and it's getting wetter.

What is a good tyre to sling on the back? Ideally something that will do me till spring or even just stay on.

Most rides are door to door around edge of Sheffield ( 30 % ish road ) with some proper Peak District stuff thrown in. size 27.5.
