I always go super grippy up front no matter what then change between a grippy/faster rolling rear tyre. I don't mind the rear moving but I like the front to go where I'm pointing it.
I like a Mary/Mary combo personally but if it's really dry then I might change to something like an Eliminator on the rear to reduce the drag a bit. Depends on conditions and terrain though. I don't do lots of linking miles either on the likes of roads or fireroads so I don't have to worry about wear/drag too much.
exactly this. only time i wish i hade a chunky rear tire is when i'm on some loose soft stuff going up steep sections and lose traction. Barely bothers me because lighter faster tires are wonderful.
