I have been running the Argotal DH SS. Loose over hard / sand / dust. It's been an excellent tire. Does everything I want and is predictable.
However, it's heavy at 1300g. But I have been running it without an insert and it's been really good.
The side knobs are well supported and don't feel them fold. However, very few of my trails allow me to put that much pressure on my front wheel right now. It's all loose.

I would never run a Continental soft tire in the front, the rubber is harder than any rubber I've ever had. Great as a rear but helllllll no am I putting that in the front. Let me know when Continental releases Super Soft in the enduro casing, should be any day now since theyve been saying its coming for 2 years. Everyone I know that tried a Continental enduro tire in the front ended up swearing off the entire brand.
night and day difference, bigger difference than Maxxis DC to Maxxgrip.There is a big difference between a Soft and a SuperSoft compound.

I love the Argo enduro casing on the front of my Primal. I have a MM on the front of my Slash and it'll get a Argo once it's trashed. I haven't had the Argo long enough but I never actually wore out a MM. Lugs would start tearing off or the tire would start bubbling up between the tread blocks.

Where do you ride again? are you in Quebec? Are you riding in the wet? dry? dirt on the slab
If your rear tire is sliding and your front is not, I will say you have a technique issue
Slabs for days out here and outside of the periodic "safety brake slide" Krptotal Soft DH rear has held up on Whistler, Squamish, Lower Mainland/Northshore slabs
I was riding on dry dirt big rock slabs. The rear end slides away quickly

IMHO- 90% front brake and 0-10% rear..
On the same slab/trail, on the same day = have your other tires slid?
I have argotal on the front. I setup 25psi on kryptotal rear, and Argotal on front too. I tried to ride over different slab and rear end slide quite a bit. I panicked

Ok more info, good thing
If you had/have had a different rear tire on the same trail and same day, would you expect it to not slid out? For EG: DHR2, would it have slid out? or was that the first time riding the trail?
Kryptotal is a good tire, but it cant overcome pannick brake grabs or rear tire slides on kitty litter on 45* off camber rock faces
