Alright, I was reading a thread and there was a debate, well, argument, on the greatest tire combo. So put your riding discipline in, and your personal tire setup.

For XC:

Front: WTB Mutano Raptor or Exiwolf 2.3"

Back: Continental Speed King 2.1"

All mountian & trails

front continental gravity 2.35 @ 30psi
rear maxxis ignitor 2.1 @ 33 psi

the gravity is smallish for 2.35 but is predictable and gradual in a slide, and the ignitor seems to be wearing fast. i'm pretty happy but dont know if i'll go the same again, prob go tubeless

xc and commuting - special Kenda Kinetics 2.1's.
dh - specialized chunderheads 2.5's. Most reliable tire I've found for not getting flats or cracking. Sometimes I'll switch in some 2.35 minions, but they don't last very well.
park - what ever is cheap. Currently some Haros.

XC combo, it's the best i've tried so far.
Front: Kenda Nevegal Stick-E 2.1
Rear: Continental Mountain King Protection 2.2
For those wondering why i've got the 2.2 in the back and a 2.1 on the front, the Mountain King is really undersized for a 2.2 tire, it's more like a 2.0.

Kenda K-Rad up front!

commuter
front Michelin Country Rock 1.75 possibly the best communter tire, fast with wet and cornering grip
rear Geax Country Rider XC/Touring 1.95 a good dirt slick with solid side wall knobs. after 8 months the centre line has lost most of its tread so its pretty fast now but still works off road on the trails
