the Saguaro is a round tyre and seems to work pretty well front or back and in seemingly any conditions.

The Geax Aka works damn well as well if you have pretty dry/hardpack trail I would say that it actually corners better than the Saguaro on dry stuff.

To expand better the best corning tires need lots of lean and sometime if people get caught in the dead zone between the center and side knobs. When in that dead zone the bike can feel really loose.  the saguaro doesnt have a dead zone(it has equal sized intermiete knobs) but its corning grip is not as high as some other tires that do like an Ardent.
