I got some spez sawtooth tyres from Stoke. I like them. Grippy and tough. Won't be throwing them out soon. Also skin wall looks "tit".

 

+1 on the tyres

+1 on the sidewalls!

The Specialized Sawtooth is a very good option and looks great. Unfortunately they were too wide for my frame and i went back to my Maxxis Ramblers. 

 

The Ramblers are fast rolling both on and off road and they are extremely light compared to the rest.

 

Pictures arent great I know but atleast will hep to see tyre and thread.

Hands down Maxxis Rambler 40C 

 

i have had a set on my Norco and the have done tar/dirt/modders park  and some other bike parks too .

 

4563km on them thus far and hands down the best all rounders i have used, not sure how much more i can squeeze out of them but maybe if im lucky 1000km more .

 

will take some pics of the wear

I am pretty content with my pair of Vittoria Terreno Dry 40c. Nice smooth ride with good cornering.

I have the specialized pathfinder. It is a very nice tyre. Smooth center for the road and grippy on the side for gravel.
