Wait.. you want less noise and good rolling but also want to go from 2.25" to 2.4"?
There are no unicorns available sorry...
I'd recommend the Schwalbe "Racing Bros" combo of Racing Ray Front and Racing Ralph Rear in 2.25"
I've found them to be awesome in mixed terrain, predictable when tipped in with the rounded profiles and exceptionally grippy.
Your wear will vary depending on your dirt types but I usually get ~2000km in mixed terrain.
The side walls can be torn but so can any other tyre.
Not bothered with noise, but it seems like really pronounced knobs make more noise, and my NN are noisy and squirm around a lot on hard pack, i don't like them.
Not bothered about wear either, $60-70 per tyre i can live with.
I do want something that rolls well, especially in the rear, i do want something that grips well on hard pack, especially on the front.
Looks like i'm not going any wider than 2.25 or 2.3 which is fine.
I'll sacrifice extra weight for stronger tyres, i run them tubeless with stans but i'm more interested in reliability than lightest possible.
It's all going to be a compromise, i get that, and yeah, i want the unicorn which i obviously can't have, but there are so many brands, patterns, compounds, sidewall options, it's a mine field and while i have no problem paying for them, i'm looking for suggestions because i hate the idea of paying for the wrong tyres and having to look again.....
