Diesel Pro 2.5 in the front and Gravity Pro 2.3 in the back - both are the same tread pattern, but for whatever reason, Continental likes to call them different names.  They also have a 2.1 version called something else.  Both are UST, pretty light, were easy to put on, and hold air ok - the front will hold for several days, but the back will go flat after a day or two.  I may try some Stan's or similar goop to get the back to hold air longer.
 
My pump is still on vacation in N. Carolina - I guess it likes the trails up there better than down here :)  I carry a mini-pump but that thing takes forever to inflate anything.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Shout out to the few guys who said "man up and do the Doom drop as is". Yesterday I rolled around that tree like it was nothing and yes, it does feel at lot better having done it in it's current state instead of only making it after repairs were made.
 
Thanks for the kick in the ass.
