After all the replies I bought a Schwalbe Nobby Nic, as it was easily accessible in my local bike shop. On the rear I left the Minion DHR II, as it's a brand new tire, and I'm not keen on wasting it. The Assegai from the front is still saved as a spare, as some of you mentioned it's cosmetic damage, but I'm not comfortable riding it. I am planning on upgrading to Continentals after I wear these down. I had a blast today on the trails, really like the Schwalbe on the front, thanks all for the replies and suggestions! Safe riding everyone!
