Sounds like Excavator country. I know you will take me with a grain of salt . . . well . . . just because. But in this case it is not just pure boosterism. I though DHF/DHF was the living end until I put on Excavators. Go 2.5 front/2.35 rear if you want to save a bit of weight and go Stick-E both ends. Yeah, they wear a bit faster maybe but you should still get a season out of them. They won't be the lighest but they will hang on to everything. I've used them at wet spring Whistler, dry summer Whistler, wet rocks, wet roots sharp-granite-and-moon-dust and decomposed-granite-over-hardpack in North idaho - - they hang onto it all.
