Best all-around tires for the Salsa Fargo with carbon Firestarter fork
What tires do you recommend for all-around use on the Salsa Fargo with carbon Firestarter fork?
I ride the bike in all conditions, commuting, gravel grinders, and light single-track.
Currently I am running the older (both discontinued) WTB Weirwolf 2.55 on the front and the WTB Exiwolf 2.3 on the rear.
Pumped up to 40psi they roll well on the road with decent cushion, and are predictable off-road at lower pressures.

WTB Freedom Cruz - 700 X 52. That's 29 X 2.0.
Great all-around tire for $50 a set and you can ride it in all conditions.
From the company's product description:
For those of us who think the 29″ bike is as perfect on pavement as on dirt, there’s the Cruz 26"x1.5 and 29"×2.0. Featuring shallow and tightly spaced tread blocks for a quick and efficient roll, an all-weather tread pattern for superior traction control and a wide 52mm casing, the Cruz is designed to turn your dirt-crusted steed into a quick and nimble commuter workhorse.
