Maxxis Ardent 2.4  It's a beast but rolls over everything very well.  I run Crossmark on rear.  Ardent is like having 2 inches of suspension on the Monkey.

Scott has sold me on the 2bliss technology of Specialized tires. Used to run Maxxis ignitors whick i really like, except no UST bead. After a while the bead started leaking with sealant(1yr). Now running Fast trak rear and Captain up front. Both 2bliss Sworks. They are super light and hook pretty good for me. Running both around 23-26psi, 29er of course.

I agree with JCMTB on the Maxxis Aspens - I've been running them since November, and I really like the way they hook up. They are very similar to the Kosmic Lites, but with a little more aggressive center knob.

Before that, I was running a Kosmic Lite on the back and a Kenda Karma on the front. The Karma did a really good job connecting to the trail, although it didn't seem to be as fast rolling...

...ahhh the classic conundrum - traction vs. speed...
