For the rear I am currently using an ed 78 I
think...Bridgestone, and more for warmer drier climate I guess.
I like the Metz mx5 for loamy or sandy soil. I often use desert
tires for 2 reasons...west oz is hot and dry most of the time.
She's a big girl that eats rear tires! I also have a maxis
desert, a mich mx5' and a couple of others in the pile to
try.motoz etc....
Up front I currently have a Pirelli mx did hard. But I think I
prefer the Bridgestone battle cross.
Like most things, tires are a bit of a compromise...I only want
a tire that is good in the wet, in the dry, on rocks, gravel,
tar, mud, never gets a flat and lasts 100k miles. Not to much to
ask is it! ;D

this is what I get to ride across a lot of the time...plus a
heap of rocks jutting out of it. One of the reason I run desert
type rubber.

Ever thought of trying a "tractionator"? I have read some good
reviews from the desert and rock guys. say it sucks in mud and
wet.

I run the tractionator I/T. It does pretty good, but we have
mostly sugarsand. I've never ran over a foot with it so I don't
know how it would do there..? But I've heard good things about
the desert tractionator too.
