Tires for Dirt
Pirelli Scorpion Rally 90/90 front and a Dunlop 606 rear. Very aggressive but still DOT. But do it right and get heavy duty tubes and rim locks and no more than 12lb tyre pressure front and back. I run at 10lb in both.
I've had a few decent models for the rear, but for the money, traction, and durability I've ended up using the Kenda Trakmaster II K760 DOT. I avoid pavement as much as possible, but it wears extremely well there when I do. Many others dies quickly on pavement.
On the front, I always tore ***** off the edges in the rockier, harder terrain I usually ride in out west. The only tire I ever got to retain its side ***** all the way to full worn out is the Kenda Parker Desert DOT. For me it's the best front tire I've ever used. Oddly it even works in loamy soil in the few cases I encounter it, and like the K760 it's great on pavement.

I'm on a rear Trackmaster II as well and it is very good in sand. Noisy as hell on pavement, but I try and stay off the road. Up front I think I'm still running a non-DOT Michelin S12 XC.. again, great in the sand.
