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

Aggressive AM for lack of concise description, basically the bike you use for anything from XC through to DH/Freeride. Now the weather has turned, im struggling to determine which fit and forget tyres for the next few months. Currently have high rollers, in both 2.35 single ply and 2.5 DH. They're ok, the mud clings to them a bit much now. The 2.35s don't have the grip of the 2.5s, but the 2.5s are too heavy (well in my head anyway). So in my short list is conti baron 2.3 black chilli, high roller 2 exo. I want the best of all worlds really, good mud shedding, not slow rolling, not too heavy (sub 1kg), grips well on wet rocks and roots, good strength. Would a 42a front/60a rear swampthing combo be ridiculous? Anywhere else i should be looking?
