Kenda Nevegal 2.35 Stick-E or 2.1 Stick-E - using both.
Even though they are directional, run em either way..
Good stick-tion in the Gut where I need it most.
They also worked well at Jockey and Yukon Ridge in the rocks.

I'm really happy with the Bontrager, Big Earl 2.3, it's nasty hook-up action will get you through anything...honestly, they're no joke. Wink Wink

Kenda Nevegals 2.1 on one bike........Kenda Nevegal on Front and Panaracer Cinder on back on the other bike.

Both hook up real well at the 909 in all conditions.

The Cinder is a little heavy, but it knobs are so big I don't mind. Wink

I always rode.

Dart / Smoke
WTB Velociraptors
or
WTB Wierwolf 2.5 up front & Velociraptor in the back. for rigid

I like anything with that type Front and rear tread design.
There are probably better tires nowadays, but i am just stuck in my ways.

Nevegal 2.1 Tomac up front

That Rampage CLAWS over anything in it's path.
