I would put a 2.25 Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance reverse mounted on the front. And regular mounted on the rear. About 20psi front 25 rear.These have good grip and are light and reasonably fast. Great for skill development. A Racing Ralph on the back would be a little faster with a little less grip. Schwalbe Nobby Nic Tire 29x2. 25 Performance Folding @ eBikeStop.com
I run this tire at these pressures and lower with a 26x2.1-2.5 tube with no punctures. Tubes are very stretchy. Partially inflate it to get it on.
