If you commute on it, and you greenlane, make sure you have a "Plan B" for the next workday, just in case it's not rideable, and make sure you got spare levers and inner tubes.
Assuming they fit, I recommend Maxxis MaxxCross Pro intermediates, I have these on my Honda CRF250L which I ride everywhere, from greenlanes to motorways.
don't forget to adjust your tyre pressures before and after green laning

I've got a more gnarly Maxxis on the rear of my Beta, and still have the goldentyre on the front. It's like riding a unicycle over a lot of marbles, riding it on the road. |

This time of year, you will.
I run Pirelli MT43s. they are a bit of a compromise off road. Can get clogged in heavy clay and mud, but for just about all other off road applications they perform just as well as full MX/Enduro type tyres.
The added bonus with these is that they perform really well on road, and don't tear chunks of the tread blocks. I find full knobblies, even the road legal ones, an absolute nightmare for any meaningful road use.

Absolutely, it's that feeling of never really knowing what the front wheel might decide to do at any given moment that really sets you up for the day!
