I have 2 brand new Conti Mountain Kings. I think they are 2.25. I stockpiled some when I was trying out different tyres.

Just out of interest what's wrong with Crossmarks ?

 

Lack of grip, especially when cornering. At least the originals had this issue, I haven't ridden the updated version.

Any help much appreciated, thanks

 

I see a lot of guys recommending Vredestein at 150 bucks... don't fall for it, they're paper thin.

I tear trough them and they suffer over the rough stuff. I ride Sabie a lot and they are like slime over ruts so the back end wipes out easily.

Try Solomon's in Woodmead

 

Got a pair of Verdestei Black Panther Xtreme for R148 each

 

They are tubeless readyattachicon.gifimage.jpg

Had these on the bike for a total of 2 hours before I tore a 10 cm gash into the sidewall

Love that hardtail. 

I've got a revelation 150mm on the front. The gap might be too narrow to run the 2.4's. The current tires (2.3 Eskars) have about 0.5cm clearance on either sides.

I have some old 26" inch tyres + rims I would like to give away for basically free. Send me a DM.
