The front is surprisingly good, except in mud, then it's not so good, unsurprisingly...
When I've had a little more money's worth out of it (or when I get around to it, whichever happens sooner) the front will be getting replaced with something a bit more enthusiastic. I keep thinking a 19" wheel is going to appear to open up the knobbly choice a bit, but I really might have to admit it's not going to happen and buy an 18" tyre.
