I use the Michelin Wild Enduro (front) Rockr2 Enduro (rear) on both my full sus and hardtail. I use them all year round coz I don't like swapping tyres and I like the all round performance in all conditions and trail types. The front tyre is a bit draggy on manicured green/blue type trails but I don't care about that.
The Wild Enduro has really tall side lugs, it's not a mud spike but it provides superb traction and has two levels of grip compounds: Gum-X and Magic-X (the latter being the softer, grippiest compound). I use the Gum-X as the Magic-X wears out faster.
Only available in a 2.4" size but I don't think you need more than that. According to Michelin the 29er version weighs 1030.
I use a 2.4" front and 2.35" rear on both bikes and ride slick, muddy natural trails throughout winter. The Wild Enduro has many times held a line and saved me when I fuck up. Which is often.If you really want a 2.6" then I'd suggest a Minion DHF. But the Wild Enduro is better by far, I only used Minions then swapped to Michelin and never looked back.

Well, this will end up being reposted by my fan-club in the GC thread no doubt, but i've spent £180 on tyres over the past week and have none to put on the bike. This is sub-optimal.
