I have an xr4 on the front and a xr3 on the rear. They work well together in dry hardpack but xr3 is horrible in wet conditions. I ride in southern california though so very little chance of ever having a wet ride.

Ive run Xr3 team in 29" and 27.5" they work great on the rear for most so-cal conditions. never run them in the front or in the wet . also am a mid pack downhill rider so dont push the tires to the limit . However ive had some bad luck with the tires and question durability in the 27.5 size. So much so that i wont be going back to them for a while. I run them tubeless and ripped knobs almost completely off. 2 tires in the past year completely ruining them. Not the cheapest tire. the Side wall does not seem durable either as i got a couple punctures almost at the edge of the rim not sure how. Hasn't happened before or since on other tires.
