What are the best tyres for XC??

Can anyone please recommend some good XC tyres for a reasonable price?
Should you run different front and rear tyres?
Do you need specific makes of tyre to use tubeless?
Does anyone know where I can find tyres online (need in a week)?
I have heard that Stans conversion kit (I think its called) is best to use for converting to tubeless?

Sorry if questions have been answered previously- there was some discussion of tyres 6 months ago and I am not sure if this would still be up to date.
Thanks for all your info!!

Would/do you ride in the rain (track sustainability notwithstanding)?

I'm from Alaska. It would take a hungry 2 ton polar bear blocking my front door to stop me from having a ride.

I'm from Sydney's North Shore. There was 1mm of drizzle yesterday so let's have a 6 hr debate before making a hasty decision.

Specialized Brain Shock

G'Day Guys,

Does anyone have any experience with the specialized brain shock?

I know someone who is looking at the 2008 specialized stumpjumper FSR expert with the specialized AFR rear shock with the brain fade inertia valve. Any coments on the performance and durability would be great.

If anyone has any experience riding this bike and shock combo, what sort of trail riding is it suited for? In short, what are its climbing and descending abilities like?

Thanks for the help guys.
