I'm having hard time choosing a tire setup for Tremblant.

I have: -1 2.5 maxxis ST dhf
-2 michelin comp16 2.2
-1 michelin comp 15
-2 2.35 maxxis ST swampthings

For bromont, I took the comp 16 but it wasn't holding well on muddy section. I know Tremblant has some pretty fast sections and various types of terrain, I think the swampthings aren't just mud tires and more all-around so I might try them.

What you think and tell what you will be riding if the condition is moderate

um - comp 16s hooked up great at bromont.

For tremblant you definately do not want swamp things...you want high rollers or comp 16s in 2.5". Hell, you want that for just about every race course you will ride.

For the Comp 16's, running as a rear tire, would you recommend going with directional arrow on the sidewall or run it the opposite way?
Or does it matter either way.

if the arrows are still backwards, you're gunna need to run it with the arrow running reverse. just make sure you have the slanted part facing front, and the taller flatter part of the knob facing back. it will roll better, and brake better this way.
