Gift Advice

I'm going to be getting my bro-in-law a set of new tires for his birthday.

I am planning on getting him a set of Maxxis Advantage tires. (I used them on a trip to NC this summer and I have never been more pleased.)

He is riding a Titus Racer X.

Should I:
1) Get a matched set 2.1 and 2.1

or

2) Get him a 2.4 front and 2.1 rear

Heres some controversy.

This should be fun.

Im saying stay the same, but thats just my preference. Theres nothing in bikes that is no questions asked best. Every part on a bicycle is personal preference.

I think you should send them to me first, and let me test out which ones are best.
