Make a tire recomendation, and if you say Nevegal front / small block rear, may you be attacked by an army of midgets with hammers.

I've been happy with the Specialized Captains. I'm running a 2.2 ft and 2.0 rr.

I've been riding velociraptors since 97. I've tried several other brands since then but keep coming back. Most recently I tried the Continental Race Kings and the Trail Kings. No matter what I try I keep coming back to the 'raptors. People might hate, but I can't imagine riding on anything else.

You can't go wrong with the Captains. I run an Eskar up front and Captain in the rear.

I'm looking to try the Tioga Psycho Genius 2.3's, but the figured I'd check out what everyone else was digging on.
Kart22 - I have a set of new Eskar 2Bliss 2.3". Let me know if your interested.
I currently run WTB Stout 2.3's. Love these tires to death, but figured it's time to try something new.

If you are getting advice from me, I would strongly suggest you get a second opinion.
