Anakee wild front, Metzeler Karoo T rear pretty fresh one's @20 PSI probably a shame sending em around the Claerwen which is hard on tyres, though I do my best to nurse tyres best I can when they are fresh at least. I am pretty picky about tyres, Black and cheapest they need to be. I have enough in the garage now to probably outlast my GS days.

Yes I think I have, I am not really the best person to ask I am not very tyre sensitive, as I remember loud, but could not fault the performance road or trail, to my mind the Knobs are smaller and the gaps bigger than other big trail tyres least ways the ones I have come across, I would imagine they are on the higher end of the trail performance. Very difficult to comment honestly about mileage for one I dont really measure it and how can most people in the real world with normal inconsistent use/conditions/temps etc. As a trail tyre I dont think you will regret except maybe noise, then again I run low pressures often and that wont help on that parameter.

Thanks for that! I’m not really bothered about longevity either as I know the right tyres are in my opinion the best thing to have on a bike for the conditions
