I've been running that tire for a while now, great traction all around, and refuses to wear out !! never had a tire last this long on my thumper killer. Although installing one is enough to bend tire spoons and bust knuckles. Super stiff carcass.
I've heard alot of negative responses with the matching front, but I ran a fresh one at Unadilla GNCC and it turned out to be a good choice.
