In rear I have a Specialized Ground Control and really like it , the sidewall is thick and good grip on mud and wet roots.
Any recommandation for a mud/wet front tire ?
Have used Beavers only at 2 races but it seems like a perfect tire for wet. At last race I've made a snakebit which was loosing air very slowly and haven't noticed it for 20km.
Has anyone tried running normal Beavers tubeless? I've done this with my AKA's which are my all-terin tire and they hold up great.

Specialized Control fastrack and renegade are great. My fav is the ikon 2.2 EXO

Took the punt and went with Rocket Ron as a front. It works very well as a most conditions front in Australian east coast sandy soils. Obviously thick/slick mud will foil it, but up to that point I'm happy with it.
The improvement in grip has helped my confidence no end. Despite the slight gain in rolling resistance I am faster as I'm more confident to stay off the brakes when cornering, Dunno why I persisted so long with the Racing Ralph.

Maxxis Aspen 2.1 x 29. Great all around and light weight around 515g if you look hard enough
I have used these on sugar sand, mud/grass and of course they roll great on hardpack
Mount well as tubeless too
only caveat- sidewalls are not super tough so watch out for sharp rocks
