CrossMarks vs MountainKings

[FasterThanFast]

Lets here it. who will give better grip.

I currently run 2 wheel sets. Got crossmark 2.1's on the one with mountain king 2.4's

 

If things are really wet or loose the mountain kings rock. The crossmark's like the harder dry stuff.

Mountain Kings in mud anyday! With X-marks you might as well be using slicks!

Mountain kings, but the proper ones made in Germany

Thats what i was thinking.

I have the CrossMarks on my Dtswiss race wheels.

im wanting to buy a set of 2.4 M Kings for my other set of wheels..

Please explain the made in germany ones, how will i know if im buying the real thing....

the one im looking at is the basic 2.4 wire one...

I have MountainKing 2.4 Protections and they say "Handmade in Germany". Have a look at the pic. Brilliant tires.

The basic ones are el-cheapo made in china type tyres, while the more expensive ones like the ust or black chilli compound models are made in germany, there is allot of info on this on the weight weenie site...

Mountan king 2.4 front, Race King 2.2 Rear. Best control!!!

Conti if you want performance and grip. Crossmark if you want durability.

According to me Conti is great in as jack of all terrain and doesn't mind the occasional wet patches. On my first set of Crossmarks now, so can't comment but they should be beter than TTs - if you spit they slip

 

 

I found these small "cuts" on my Conti after a year and I'm of the opinion that it caused a bit of problems with the tubeless effect - as most of the slime you put in tries to seal them - so not much left to do proper job. But just my opinion!
