29er Tyre Thread

Trail casing would be alright as I know where you ride. The only problem with trail casing in the more aggressive group is it only comes in the entry level endurance rubber.

The latest set of Kryptotals I ordered, I got an enduro front with a DH rear. The rear definitely takes a bigger beating as it doesn't follow the path of the front and rubs shit on the way down/up, has more weight over it and does the squirm/schralp on corners, bringing the casing in to play.

Gotchya. Probably longer lasting at the expense of some grip. If I ever wear out the Pirellis will try some Contis.

Conti have added more of those 'otal-ital' words to the updated RaceKing, SpeedKing and MountainKing, same tyre identification markings, which works alright. New knob patterns, widths, rubbers and casings. Should make lovely gravel tyres.

The Conti Race King has been one of the top picks with the wide tyre gravel racers in the past. It will be interesting to see if the radial is any different.
