So so much nicer, ive yet to ride it with the front one, but the rear one was allot nicer than my old maxxis by far, wider to even though they were both 1.95, i can manual so much better and ride backward for a lot longer to now.
The tread pattern is a perfect for all round use and the compound isnt to soft either.
Dont get white wall's, they look shit on the majority of bikes, especially if you have any thing else white, The tread pattern is a perfect all rounder then again, each to their own.
