Great all around tire that can add a bit of traction to a xr4/xr3 combination for XC and AM, or run front and back for more aggressive AM. Certainly bump it up to the SE5/SE4 options for more DH...
Pros What a great tire. Handles aggressive AM riding with traction and speed.
Cons SE4 is a nice upgrade for some added sidewall protection despite the weight penalty
These are my new go-to tyres for all things singletrack since they can handle most technical challenges but don't suffer substantially when it comes to rolling speed.
Pros Great grip, incredibly predictable no matter the conditions
Cons Higher tread means higher rolling resistance, but not by much
Use it and abuse it. You will love it.
Pros
Faster and grippier than the xr4 2.3 I was running. Confidence level increased by a million.

Overall a great tire, well equipped for gnarly Southern Colorado terrain.
Pros

- Lower rolling resistance than similarly aggressive treads
- 1500 - 2000 mile life

- Significantly looses grip near the end of it's life
