I was chatting to someone else and he said you really need to be leaning on the Ardent (or was it the Rekon?) to get the sideknobs involved. No way I'm leaning enough to make use of its knobs so I reckon either another Ardent Race or maybe an Ikon for the back and stick the Ardent Race on the front. It's 800k and I'll be hopefully make the smart decision to walk anything that will kill me so in theory I want be using extra grip.

Well ...
As I said, personally, I don't like the ardent in the front because I think it feels vague when there's loose stuff, as the taller knobs sit very far outside in the profile.
The Rekon starts gripping earlier as the tyre leans over. Feels more re-assuring to me and my lack of skills. Plus you can get it with EXO+ if you want more durability
