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.
Bigger/more aggressive tread up front for steering/braking. Smaller/less aggressive in the back for lower rolling resistance. Traction requirements are generally much less for a rear tire, and if you do skid the rear its not usually a big deal compared to washing out the front.
