Pick my new tires

Keep in mind that these are all 2.1", tubed, kevlar bead and will be used for all-around xc on a Stumpy HT. I would like a good balance of cornering, climbing, and speed. Given these choices, what would you recommend?

I personally like the Michelin Hot S with the blackwall and red tread.

Thanks anyway, guys. I just got a set of Motoraptors from Nashbar for $13 each. At that price I couldn't say no

I think you will be happy with the Motoraptors. I have a pair and I really like them.
