Ive got an animal glh-r folding tire up front in 2.25 and i really like it.It only slipped out on me once when i first got it but once it wears in a bit its great. And on the back i run a primo wall in 2.1 but i dont reccomend getting it if your a weight weenie. Its like 30 ounces aloe but when that wears out im gonna get another glh for the back.I also heard that an odyssey aitken in the fron and a path in the back is a good set up. hope i helped.

a few good combos are:

Front: odyssey aitken
Rear: odyssey path

Front: fly ruben
Rear: animal asm

Front: primo dirt monster
rear: primo V-monster

the possibilities are endless!!

go for 2.25 on the front and 2.1 on the back. you also might want a p-lyte path too, as the standard tyres are quite heavy (i have them)

its up to you, if you want to roll super fast, go for the 1.9. but the 2.2 will give your rims more protection and traction. i'd go for the 2.2
