I have a 2.2" RQ on the rear & can't decide what size to put on the front.

Hummingbird fork with 26" wheel.

Help me decide please.

The last few 2.4s I bought were the same size as the 2.2s I already had and much smaller than the 2.4s used to be. I asked about it on here, someone said they were Trail Kings now, so I ordered one of those, but they're the same size.

Massively disappointing as the property sized ones ate awesome.

Got a 2.2 and a 2.4 RQ from nextdaytyres.Co.UK recently and the latter is a lot bigger.

really? RQ - trail king is a name change only.

If you are talking about 2.4 mountain king II then yes, these are similar in width to 2.2 trail king/rubber queen

OP, 2.4 front, good choice!

save yourself a few quid and get a chunky monkey..

big bouncy and plenty of grip and great with a singular fork

Nope, definitely RQs and Trail Kings. The 2.4s ate bigger than the 2.2s, but both used to be much bigger. I think the sidewalls are a lot less tall.

Maybe consider a 2.35 Hans Dampf or a 2.4 Chunky Monkey, I've found both to be excellent front tyres on my rigid hardtail.
