And Are the G ones going to be pretty useless in the mud this time of year?

Yes - they will gum up.

Am I infect looking for two pairs of tyres?

Maybe. Maybe not. I've been on Panasonic Cinder Cross all season - which is a pretty similar tread to the Cross Boss.

A rocket Ron front and racing ralph rear would be pretty good all year round too I reckon.

whats the logic in miss matched tyres?

Ramsaye in reply to @bitterbuffalo

At its most basic level
Rear tyres are often thinner with less knobbles to decrease rolling resistance while wider more aggressive fronts are used to improve cornering.

Even with matched tyres it's common to run the front at a lower pressure to the rear.
