What is the difference between these?
I would like the one that rolls fast and is best in mud.

None of them are particularly fast or great in (some sorts of ) mud. If low rolling-resistance is more important, then the DHF is a wee bit faster than the DHR. The DHR is a grippier tyre front tyre in mud than the DHF but can clog faster - depends on your soil though

I have a 27.5 2.8 on the front of my other bike and I reckon it's great . It's a max terra so maybe I'll see if they do one in 29 that's not a 2.5

Wiggle seem to have a problem - saying it’s too busy on the website to find your link.

Best rolling resistance and best in mud don’t very often come hand in hand.

Rolling resistance wise I’m not convinced there is a huge difference between dhf and dhr2 so I think if it had to do mud specifically I’d go for the 2.4” wt dhr2 in exo 3c maxx terra
