Aside from extra clearance, what the X really needs for off road use is more wheel travel but that's easier said than done.
PS: My Pirelli ATRs are my do-everything tyre. You could go heaps more aggressive if you have two sets of wheels. Interesting to see the Paris-Dakar X3CC (pic above) is on 16s...
