What tyres do you use on your "aggressive AM" bike?

Got a black chili baron on the front and rubber queen rear. The baron's great, grips well, clears well, decent on wet rocks/roots, and when it does let go its predictable. Usually ride a swampthing on the front during winter, and while the baron might not be as grippy in proper gloop, it rolls better everywhere else, and when it lets go its easier to hold.
Gonna stick a spesh storm on the back to try out. The rubber queen has been spot on up until lately, just starting to spin out on steeper climbs.
A friend uses schwalbe muddy Mary's, they'd be worth a look too.Posted 7 months ago # -

4 rides in on some Conti black chilli barons on my BFe, very impressed so far (and so i should be given the price of them), size up small for a conti in comparison to a rubber queen. Good size for a winter heavier duty trail tyre - i have specialized storms too but found them a bit skinny for more techy rough stuff, great for muddy xc rides but i think the barons will stay on til next summer now. Roll surprisingly well too.
If you can afford black chilli versions then go for it, if not then don't be tempted by the cheaper compounds, go for something else like maxxis minion dhf's (high rollers are a bit sketchy in full on mud).Posted 7 months ago # -
2.35 single ply Swampthings, super tacky front max pro rear is my winter default tyre combo. Maybe not the fastest rolling but I ride faster as I've more grip and more importantly more confidence.
