What tires do you recommend for all-around use on the 2015 Fargo with carbon Firestarter fork?
I ride the bike in all conditions, daily commuting, gravel grinders, light single-track, as well as bikepacking.
Currently I am running the older (both discontinued) WTB Weirwolf 2.55 on the front and the WTB Exiwolf 2.3 on the rear.
Pumped up to 40psi they roll well on the road with decent cushion, and are predictable off-road at lower pressures.

I haven't finished building my Fargo yet, but after much research I've opted for the Soma Cazadero.

I like the Conti X-Kings on mine - seem to roll relatively quickly on pavement , sidewall protection, and good cornering. Haven't tried much else at this point.

I like my WTB NanoRaptors. They're only 2.1's but they do everything that I need. I do have a Rebl RL shock fork though. I might have to play around and see if I can get a bigger tire for my bike. That'd help too I bet.
