One tire I was impressed with in the past that I had used is the 2.24 mutano Raptor race. It has very large air volume for a 2.24'' tire. And as long as you are not riding in mud it proved to be a good tire for me in all other conditions. A very 'big' 2.24 tire.
2.7 up front! Them's some big tires. What kind of riding/conditions are you typically doing? I'm guessing you're dealing with rougher terrain and more downhills than I would be on the singletrack near here.
It's good to hear you like the Mutano Raptor. If I were to choose WTBs, I would probably run a 2.24 Mutano up front with a 2.1 Nano Raptor up front. I obviously still haven't narrowed the choices down that far yet, though.
What kind of pressure did you typically run the Mutano at?
