the Mutanoraptor 2.4's are excellent i rode them last year in roots, rocks etc what you describe...this year i am riding a wierwolf 2.5 front, 2.3 rear.

Brad,
I use a 2.1" Michelin Hot-S..& Tioga 2.3" DH up front..
seems to work ok..
I think Sticky rubber is the key !
My new Trek SS should be built up soon..
We gotta hit Panther creek 4 sure..

As long as you're not running rigid, the same tires that will work on a gearie will work on an SS. If you've already got some favorite tires, then start with them.
