I'd replace the rear, as this is likely where you've got the worse mud clearance.

you mention tarmac, rocks and roots but not mud

I don't find mud-x very grippy on wet roots (not much rock round here) so might keep it for the back if I needed it for occasional mud traction riding your trails

course, if the front slides out all the time on mud you may have to rethink
