If your at the skill level where you have to ask this kinda question go get a Bontrager XR3 29x2.35 for the front and a Bonty XR 1 29x2.25 for
the back.

These tires work and the pair should come in about $110, I know for a fact the XR3 out front sticks like glue, is extremly predictable, rolls great, edge treads don't come off, they are not heavy and from my experience my XR 3 will last as long as any TWO Schwalbe's you put out front at about $90 EACH.. been there...
Four seasons In variable trail conditions and I am finished with expensive tires.. I'd rather have beer money
