Hi,

I have just bought a 2010 Orange Five SE which comes with the rather rubbish Conti Mountain Kings (Tubeless)on Mavic 819s. For me the tyre's don't suit my style of riding or give me confidence.

Riding trail centres around the UK and an annual visit to the Alps in the summer. Want a tyre that grips well in the corners, that isnt too draggy but is good for singletrack!

Been looking at either Conti Rubber Queen 2.2 UST, Maxxis HR 2.35 LUST, MAxxis ADvantage 2.1 LUST or Schwalbie Nobby Nics 2.2 UST.

What do you think?

Thanks in adavance.

if you want to sell the Conti Mountain Kings (Tubeless) let me have first dibs 😉

ADvantage is ace- although I'd get a 2.25!

Put a big fat super tacky HR or ADvantage on the front & a 2.1 ADvantage on the back

Thanks for the comments, keep them coming please.

valleydaddy – you may just have a deal rather soon!

rubber queens are where its at. once you try them you will never use another tyre.
