If Not Assegai/Minions, What Else?

Went to BPW on Tuesday with mini-DBW#0000002 and managed to put a hole in a 200 mile old Assegai on run 6 of the day and do the same with a same age Minion on run 7. I've run this tyre setup for yonks (can't remember the tyre compounds etc off the top of my head) and am happy with them but figured if I need a new pair of tyres, should I be trying something new? Usage is a mix of everything - general trail riding but also steep, loamy tech stuff and will be headed out to the Alps for big back country type trails in a few weeks which my current setup has done brilliantly but is there better? These radial things that are out now? Continentals sticky ones etc?
