Anybody upgraded their tyres on the 27.5 norco sight ?

What tyres are on now?

I have always felt a bit iffy about using the word "upgrade". Yes, you could choose a better quality tyre, or even just a more expensive one. But would it be an actual "upgrade" against the performance you currently have? I have changed tyres to give higher grip, I have also changed tyres to give lower rolling resistance (ie I swapped them back again once the dry season arrived). Both could be considered "upgrades" in that they gave me more of what I wanted.
