Actually....
the Nevegal front and Small Block 8 rear is a good combination. A 2.35 Nevie in the front to help with rocks and roots and handle cornering duties is an excellent choice. The 2.1 SB 8 in the rear will lower your rolling resistance without giving up too much in the traction department. You will loose a little bit of climbing traction in the rear and they won't corner as hard a Nevegal, but they do corner a bit better than the Pythons IMHO. The only place the SB 8's really suck is if things turn muddy. They pack up super fast. And on the subject of rolling resistance I've found that having a faster rolling rear tire is much more noticeable than having them both front and rear.
My choice would be a 2.1 or 2.3 Nevegal in the front and a 2.1 SB 8 in the rear. Or if you want to go higher volume both front and rear the 2.3 Nev and the 2.3 SB would also work well.
Good Dirt
