I've been running Maxxis Minion 2.5 up front and and Ardent 2.4 rear all winter, and they've been great. They hook up perfectly across the mucky muddy trails.
However …. Now that the trails have started to dry out, they are now dry dust over stones, and these tyres are starting to wash out. The ground is hard and there is nothing for the knobblies to bite into.
What would people recommend for this sort of trail? I was out yesterday and had the thought that as unaggressive as possible tyre would be the best thing?
I'm thinking Rekon up front and torch on the rear. Would that be crazy?

I just run SCHWALBE magic Marry in the front all year and a big Betty /Tacke Chan in the Back all year
The tyres you are using now are my summer tyres.
All you need to do is drop the pressures. That said, dust over rocks will always be slidy
Do not put recon up front, drop the pressure and maybe switch to an Assegai up front if you’re washing too much. Assegai on the front and Minion DHR on the rear is about as much grip as you can physically get
