ALright after my other post, I really think new tires are in order. I also want something a lot easier to change on the Sun Rhino Rims.
I live on the East Coast in Delaware. Thats about an hour from the Pocono mountains. What are a good tire for actual dirt with roots and rocks. It's mostly top soil consistency, little sand or clay based soils.
Used a lot of tires, keep coming back to these:
Front: WTB Motoraptor 2.4, WTB Velociraptor 2.1 is good too if you don't want a wide tire
Rear: Dry conditions, WTB Motoraptor 2.4 again. Soft/Muddy/Snow - Continental Survival Pro 2.3, If those are to wide for you, the Panaracer Smoke 2.1 is my old favorite. I'd continue to run it if they made it in a 2.3 or 2.4

the smoke is a good tire (2.1) along with the moto raptor for the front.
