I don't know what the trails are like round there but I always prefer some meaty lugs on the front for holding a line, so a Minion DHF would be a go to. Having a tyre on the rear to match the front would be useful. Maybe a Minion SS instead of a full Minion DHRII. It some nice side lugs on the rear but you won't sacrifice rolling speed.
I use 2.5" upfront and 2.35" on the rear generally.

I think meaty lugs are going to help - especially on the way out of summer, as we are. I’m not so fussed about rolling speed as my technical skill is a bit behind how fast I can make the bike go at the moment.
If I got something knobblier like a minion, so I need to size up then? A mate has minions - I think They’re 3.5 but they seemed tiny compared to my 2.2 ikons (I assume that’s something to do with the width being made up of more tyre than knobble?).

I’ve got ikons (2.2) on my 26” bike at the moment and want to put something less useless in corners on the front. What’s a good pairing? Minion? High Roller? And what size?
I’m new to this off road lark and mainly easing myself round Bristol trails, displaying low to moderate levels of radness.
I’m vain enough to want to stick with maxxis to avoid logo disparity.
