Stain Posted March 4, 2014 Share Paid R590 odd. So there was no reason for me to believe from the price that I was not getting the Protection version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted March 4, 2014 Share 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!
