My DTH 2.15 looks like about 2" exactly
Pros: looks about 2"

I've tried the Ardent in a 2.3 width as a rear tire, and wasn't a fan. It was prone to breaking loose easily in corners with little warning.
Pros: fast tire
Cons: prone to breaking loose
I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.
Pros: good for descents
Cons: slow on climbs
Something XC like Maxxis ardent race or rekon race
Pros: null
Cons: null
The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.
Pros: good choice
Cons: not great wet grip
Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.
Pros: roll great on road
Cons: null
They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.
Pros: roll really well
Cons: iffy cornering, soft ground
If you liked the XR4 the Rekon is probably the closest, or Ardent. It's worked well for me everywhere I've taken it from Duluth to Moab, and everything in between.
Pros: worked well everywhere
Cons: slow rolling
Dissector front, Aggressor rear. All the grip you ever need unless you are a DH pro - and way faster than DHF/DHR
Pros: All the grip
The Assegai has the best climbing traction I've ever had (used to run DHRIIs, which would be a good option as well).
Pros: best climbing traction
