Lee the tire I told you about at the mtg is a X King. This tire is really nice for around here. It handles great at Sunderbruch whether you're on the top side hard pack or climbing out of the creek bed. And then you can take it to Sylvan just fine. I haven't ridden it for very long before the weather went crappy so I don't know about longevity. I also haven't tried it on the front, but it is an awesome back tire. I think it would perform well as a front tire also. I rode this on the big Dee's Enchanted stomp a couple weeks ago and had little problem with traction.

I like the slanted side knobs on tires cause they give a very predictable corner slide.
