I pedal to the trails and back so i appreciate a good rolling with enough traction tire.
My rims are 40 mm, my bike was sold with 2 3.0
I am cosidering same tire 120TPI TR in 3C but pricy.
I am considering a Rekon but only offered in 2.8
My rear is a Rekon, i love it but 0.5 inch less diameter than my front Chronical.
I just saw an add from Jenson
Teravail Coronado 27.5x3.0 Tire 70$US
Any other?
Happy trails

When I replaced my Chronicles in that size, my next front tire was a Terrene Chunk in the same size. I noticed the increased rolling resistance at first but quickly forgot it. The traction however is phenomenally better. If your riding doesn't need that much traction and you want more than the Chronicle but good roller, I'd look at the HR2 or Purgatory.

Terrene chunk here as well, great front tire, & either light or heavy casing..

FWIW, I'm running the Light version and am not particularly careful about where I point it yet have never had the slightest issue with the sidewalls.

YMMV
