Tire choice

[peadar]

Good Day All,

 

i'm looking at new tires for my 29er Rigid and my 29er Scott scale.

i'm Currently

running cross marks.

was thinking of changing to either the mountain kings or the x king in the front and race king back.

 

any thoughts?

Im currently running the Racing Ralph 2.25 on my rigid 29er. Seems to be quite grippy front and rear in most conditions. I am quite keen though for swapping the front for a 2.35 Nobby Nic for some additional grip and volume in front.

Don't buy Continentals. They are horrible, especially in the configuration you are suggesting. There tires just don't seem to last. Rather go with Schwalbe Rocket Ron or Racing Ralph.

You have good ideas .The combo you are suggesting is great .Make sure it is the protection type..Also look at Geax saguaro rear and Xking or nobby nic in front .Also had racing ralphs in front ,but i needed more grip so i put on nobby nic .Both nobby nic and X-king have excellent grip and the contis are super strong .Race -king is the best rear tyre in my opinion
