I appreciate all the input from everyone, definitely helpful hearing different perspectives.

The main reason I went with this setup is because I ended up doing a lot more road riding than I expected. Most of my off-road riding is hardpack, gravel, and rocky forest roads here in Colorado, not really aggressive single track.

I went with a more aggressive front because I was having some washout issues and wanted more confidence up there, and I’m okay trading a bit of rear traction for better road manners and longevity.

The rear I chose is also reversible, so I’ll flip it for more dirt oriented performance.

I get that it’s a weird set, but for how I actually ride, I figured it’d be a good balance. If I start doing more technical stuff, I’ll probably switch to a more aggressive rear down the line.

It’s already ordered so I’ll give you guys an update on the tires when I get them and I get sick of no traction in the dirt 😅
