I'll probably switch out the 2.2 Bonti XR1 tires with some 2.4 Ardents. Everything else can stay the way it is.
Nice bike, congrats!
..Not sure about that tire switch. I've never been a fan of the Ardent and would use an Ikon or Ardent Race instead. Or you could haggle at the LBS where you bought this and get an XR3 front / XR2 rear or dual XR3 combo. XR3 is pretty dang good.
Personally, my XC / hardpack trail setup is Maxxis but I use an Ardent Race 2.2 up front and Tread Lite 2.0 rear. Pretty skinny and you said 2.4 Ardent so I'm guessing you want more volume.
