    I like the Fatty front, use Tubliss, and also found around 10 psi as a sweet spot.

    Another new front tire I'm trying and liking, a Michelin StarCross 5 Medium. Only done 2 rides with it and loving it so far.

    I run the same combo and about the same pressures, but with UHD tubes. It is the go to setup for NE. I am curious about these Golden Tyres.

    Im down to 5psi, ive run it with 0 and it was rolling a little bit but still rideable. id say lowest would be 2-3psi. It runs so good at 5 I honestly think its flat sometimes because how well it hooks up...

    I'm running a GT216 Fatty front with Tubliss and I won't go below 7 on it. It likes a little pressure.
    Just an FYI to the group, I'm running a D803 GP at 5-6 psi tubliss in the rear now (which replaced a GT216X), and it is my favorite rear of all time. I've tried several of the Trials/Trials-Hybrids. None of them have any side bite, but this one seems to (at least while its still got fresh nobs).

    Also, the BattleCross X30 is a darn good front tire in the dry conditions. I haven't tried the X20 or X40 yet, though I want to, some day.

    Goldentyre Fatty front works great in our area too. I run Tubliss also and keep it at 10 PSI. I have gone lower and it did seem to roll a bit and just made me nervous but I am a fatty myself. Tubliss rear and with low to little pressure 4-6 psi almost anything hooks up.

    IRC ve35 is my preference. I don't run tubliss though either. I've gone back to this tire many times after trying others. I do like the goldentyre fatty a lot though.

    For what its worth I run the battlecross X40 on the rear & am loving it, around 4-5psi if I remember correctly.
