As the title really?
I still have a WTB Velociraptor F+R combo on one of my bikes and was a firm follower of the Panaracer Smoke/Dart combo before that. Seems that everyone is making tyres that are uni-ended (albeit with perhaps a reversal of rotation)
In my opinion, the front and rear tyres need to do really rather different jobs a paddle type tread on the rear for laying down the power and more longitudinal knobs on the front to keep the front from washing out.
I wonder if the plethora of tyres available now and the corresponding debates over choice is partly because they're all being made to be work on both wheels, and as a result are in fact less than optimal in both cases.
So, without wanting to start another what-tyre thread, can someone suggest some F/R specific tyres that are available these days?
