I've just got some of the 2.2s and I was wondering what pressures you guys run (they only came today, so I haven't had a chance to fit them yet).

I ride mainly around the Surrey Hills, so loam and roots are the usual fair.

Mine are the tubeless run ghetto'd at 30 psi front and 35psi rear but then I am with riding kit 18 stone on a hardtail.

I'll be running tubed-up, weighing about 12 stone kitted up and on a full-suss.

Thanks for the input.

I would be looking at running them around 30, I had the 2.4s and ran them at about 25psi little less in the front. They have just gone back to conti as they deformed beyond belief!

Hard to say really, i'd try 40 p.s.i. first - easier to let air out ๐Ÿ™‚

I run mine at 40 p.s.i.

Im tubed up on a full-bouncer and weigh 16 stone.

[u][b]P.S. These are by far the sweetest tyres i have ever used[/b][/u] ๐Ÿ™‚

Tried Kenda Nevegals, Panaracer Rampage (seriously bad) Maxxis HR 1's / 2's - Not a patch on the Conti's!

IME they run happily at lower pressures than some other tyres - I am running 30 / 35 ish I run conti mountain kings at 40 / 45 for example - no squirming at 30 psi in the front

13 stone on a hardtail

So try 35 for a start point

Cheers folks. I'll hopefully give them a go at the weekend, although with all this rain I may have to put on my Swampthings hahaha

I run them tubeless on a full sus at about 28-30psi, 14 stone kitted up, great all round tyre.

One thing that does worry me is the lack of a shoulder edge compared to my High Rollers. For this reason I may start off fairly hard in order to try and retain any edge that it there when cornering. Make sense?

I do run fairly wide rims as well (Spank Subrosa) which may effect their form as well.
