4 rides in on some Conti black chilli barons on my BFe, very impressed so far (and so i should be given the price of them), size up small for a conti in comparison to a rubber queen. Good size for a winter heavier duty trail tyre – i have specialized storms too but found them a bit skinny for more techy rough stuff, great for muddy xc rides but i think the barons will stay on til next summer now. Roll surprisingly well too.
If you can afford black chilli versions then go for it, if not then don’t be tempted by the cheaper compounds, go for something else like maxxis minion dhf’s (high rollers are a bit sketchy in full on mud).
