Thanks Guys. Next question. 2.25, 2.35 or 2.4 width?

2.35 is the most common but check if your Frame can handle it. Some older frames need 2.25 at the back.

2.35 is probably the most common. They should serve you well. Put them on a week before and run them in. Definitely do not fit them the day before.

I am also looking for some faster rolling tyres as my Ardent (front) and Ardent Race (rear) is overkill for my riding and seem quite heavy if I look at some other tire weights.

Any thoughts on Specialized Fast Track and Renegade tyres? T5 or T7 for gravel riding and lighter trailer usage?

The widest the rear of your frame can take, plus some mud clearance. 

For those on Non-Boost bikes its normally a 2.25, max 2.35. 

Boost bike you can squeeze a bit more meat in there. 

Pick a size, be it 2.25 or 2.35 and run that front and rear. You dont need to run a staggered setup anymore.
