Dubber88 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Thanks guys, going to try race king UST 2.0 front and 2.2 rear....will see how it goes and try it out myself!! That combo is far more appropriate on a 29er due to the extra contact area on the ground. There's a reason why every Niner pic on their website either has WTB or Race Kings on... The RK may prove to be a bit too loose for the front. Please let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goya-goya Posted December 12, 2011 Share Awesome front tire. Front Tyre? I only ever consider Racing Ralph as a rear tyre... looking at the tread... I find it difficult to believe that it can grip on serious turns... However experience outshines opinions... Also I still am a bit ify to use tubeless ready tyres... please could someone who is using them give me an idea of the terrain you using them on and what kind of riding you do??

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 14, 2011 Share Don't run the Race King up front! It'll be more slippery than a nigerian 419 scammer in the corners & rough stuff! And if you do different sizes, make sure the wider one goes at the front. More contact area = more grip. There's a reason that BMX racers used to run skinny ass tyres at the back and wider ones at the front. The same cannot be said for motorbikes, however. Bigger rear tyres for them given the amount of grip the rear needs to have when the power goes down. Something us MTBers don't have to worry about..
