Use a gatorskin on the front. When you skid through the rear, move the front tire to the back and install the new tire on the front. You always want the newest tire on the front, because its the most dangerous tire to have a blowout.

Ok, i run a Gator up front and drag a Panaracer on the back. I put on a lot of miles, ever skid around a corner and hit some gravel. Its nice to have some traction up front, try a Gran Prix 4000. Its a softer compound race tire, but Gators are my favorite. Kevlar is your friend......

Wait, you're skidding on a Gatorskin? Those are nice tires. Why destroy them like that?
