you might also look at the maxxis crossmark. they are pretty good rear tires.

Intresting notion of using 2 different tires but sure granted i would only ditch the blue tread if and when needed provided its decent on the front.

what is the reason for the less wide tire vs wider tire? ive always used 2.5 on this bike from day 1.
