If you spend most of your time riding in taman or non-technical stuff, you shouldnt change your current tyres. Always prioritise your regular trails/riding areas first. You can definitely use your current tyres in any trail, especially if you are not going super fast.
Once you ride more of the technical trails, you will naturally start to feel that your tyres will struggle or cannot keep up. Then its time to change to more aggressive, wider tyres.

dont you find it a waste of money to have 2 wheelsets? Personally im using 2.5/2.3, dont have any issues with road riding..its obviously not 'fast', but to me its fine
The Ikon's are fine, they are standard tires for many bikes.
Actually, I thought of just wanting to get another front wheelset so I can swap between them either riding in the taman or on the trail. I felt the bike slipping a few times on descent when I was on the red trail. Another time also on descent, I felt every bones in my body shook and here I thought I lack the better fork or the rear sus... Well, I guess it's too soon and probably I need more session on the trails to justify changing my tyre type/size?The Ikon's are fine, they are standard tires for many bikes.
