Anyone know how they size up? Interested in the 2.4. I've some 2.2 Rubber Queens and I'm after similar size.

Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

just measured mine and they come up around 2.3" in height and width on an xm719.

might go a bit bigger if i put in a larger inner tube. the one in there at the mo is only for up to 2.15 or something, and takes a while to fill out the tyre.

The 2.4s are a good size, not dissimilar to a 2.2 RQ in both width and depth.

(I have 2.4 X-King Protections and 2.2 RQ USTs)

Used 'em on the Dyfi - really rate them.

They come up a fraction smaller than the rubber Q's 2.2 in width and depth, I changed from rubber Q's to the 2.4 X-kings for rear clearance on a new frame. Excellent tyres, very quick and grippy, but not quite as grippy as the RQ's in flat out cornering. Get the protection type for stronger side walls, I got the tubeless ready version and I have to run them with a fairly high psi to stop them wanting to roll of rims when cornering!
