Long lasting, skid resistent tyres?

riding with a white Ranoneuers on the back and its nice and smooth and not too grippy and good in the wet aswell . . . also got the gatorskin on the front but not sure what way it goes on . . .

there should be an arrow on the side wall, it's a raised rubber one not painted or anything, also the grip grooves point to the front.

same choice of both tyres, :)
