@Jon.
XNs are a bit narrow if you ask me. Okay for road riding with the odd off-road jaunt, but for racing you have to run them with too much pressure.
I don't usually bother with file treads. There generally aren't enough races (at least in the proper cross season) where they're enough of a advantage to justify the cost (and hassle) of switching tyres.
