Once the other Ranger wears out, you could put something a bit more aggressive up front, which I find impacts cornering more than the rear tire anyway.
The reason that I was asking about the compound was less about how it would feel while riding and more about how long they would last. My WTB Ranger that I was running in the rear went almost completely bald after 3 months, I was wondering if that compound should wear out at a similar rate (is it necessary for me to replace my tires every 3 months or would these tires last longer).
