    Maxxis Adrent 2.4 is a killer tire...but if you need more knob, the Purgatory 2.4 is the best tire I have ridden on a 29er for aggressive EC style terrain.

    Yeah...this thread title was done slightly tongue in cheek :D Honestly, it's more about how I like to ride a bike than where I ride it ;)

If you intend it mostly for dirt, I'd stick with a ~50mm or similar rim...if you want to mix in some snow rides a 70mm would likely be a better balance between the two.
