Discount Continental Mountain King Tire, Black, 29 x 2.2cc
Product Description
Now in its second reign, the Mountain King II strengthens its rule over the all-around trail bike market. Superb braking trtaction and optimum cornering are guarenteed in all types of conditions. The tread lug arrangement was developed in collaberation with professional mountain bikers, resulting in an easy rolling, yet exceptionally versatile trail tire. The ProTection and UST models are the sensible choices for the majority, yet the gram counters and racers can take advantage of the RS (RaceSport) option. Tires with Black Chilli Compound deliver a performance that had not yet been reached. Compared to silicia tires, tires using black chilli provide 26% lower rolling resistance, 30% higher grip, and 5% longer miliage.

Mountain King 2.4
By Joshua T.
These tires are absolute beast's! The motto for these tires should be "If you have the guts to go for it, these tires will grip it!!!" The trail by my house is a 15-ish mile loop and it has everything you could possibly imagine in a trail all in one. From my front door you ride a mile or so and then hit a gravel road for about 100 yards. After that, the trail narrows to around 18 inches and its a ride through grass that varies in height from hip to over 6 feet. That last for around a mile then it goes to around 5 feet wide and its a ride through fallen leaves, roots, and hay. After around a half mile of that, the hell begins. It starts out as very loose gravel from pea to softball size and then goes straight into a rock garden from softball size all the way up to rocks bigger than a cars hood. There's very loose sand, gravel, deep mud, hard packed dirt, dirt the consistency of powdered sugar, leaf litter, pine needles, roots from large to small, large ruts, downed dead tree stumps, and just about everything a trail could have all in one. NEVER ONCE DID I WIPE OUT!!! I rode these hard and was picking the worst lines possible and they griped everything. When they did break loose they would stutter, meaning they would grip, slip, grip, slip, grip, but they never fishtailed. Even in loose turns at high speed they stayed hooked up. They stayed glued to the ground under all trail conditions so well it was kind of scary. When you go through mud it only takes around 10 revolutions and they are clean. I have never jumped on the tubeless bandwagon, but with tubes and rim strips I ran these tires from 15 to 25 pounds of air and never had problem! Even when the trail got nasty they were flawless!!! Now for the flaws. They are heavier by around half a pound each tire and have more rolling resistance than the Vee Rubber 8's I just took off. Of course, the Vee Rubber 8's are slicks and are more geared for street and not so much trail. With the Vee Rubber 8's, the trail would usually take me around 2 hours and 15 minutes because I had to go slower and walk a bike in some sections where they would not get traction. The Mountain Kings took me longer to get to the trail, but, when I hit the trail I was flying. My first time was 1 hour and 45 minutes, and that's riding timid in some sections where I wiped out with the 8's. They are not 2.4 inches wide as they claim. They are actually 2.25. Not a big difference but I wish they would list actual size. I am not picking on Continental only as all tire makers do it. If traction is you're main goal than these are the tires for you. They don't roll as fast as Specialized Ground Control but grip much better for a fraction of the price! These tires rock!!!

Love these tubeless tires. Great size for Cross Country. If you are all mountain try their 2.4. Sweet ride on any terrain!

Excellent tire
By Mountain Biker
These are the best all around tires I've ridden. Moved to these as an alternative to my Wild Grippr's. Fast rolling with loads of grip in all situations, and if they do break free there is predictable drift in the corners.
