Continental X-King Protection made in India??

[Stain]

Paid R590 odd. So there was no reason for me to believe from the price that I was not getting the Protection version.

come stain, send it back. the mechanic has to take it

Thought the non protection were wirebead for tjoobs ?

 

The protection ones apparently aren't actually UST or tubeless ready but they mount pretty easily as tubeless anyway. Protection is just one of the ways Conti makes almost any of their tyre types, just like wirebead is also just a way of makeing the tyre and they can be mounted tubeless anyways if you try hard enough!

I have both but the 2.4 with no protection have super thin sidewalls and wouldnt run them tubeless,also cant be folded as easy.

Wire bead you can't fold at all, you can only bend them into a figure of 8?
