🚲 Continental Mountain Bike ProTection Tire - Tubeless, Folding Handmade MTB Performance Tire with Black Chili (26-inch, 27.5-inch, 29-inch) Review

I bought the Trail King in 27.5 x 2.6 because it's my favorite rear tire. Compared to the Rekon 2.8 (closer to 2.63), it's wider, 2.7 inches on a 41mm rim, which is way too big. Follow the recommendation for a maximum rim width of 35mm as my sidewalls are 1-2mm wider than the profile on each side. I have LOTS of rock chips on the sidewalls and most of them did no damage.

What a big difference, these bindings have really good grip, especially in corners, even aggressive corners with loose dirt or gravel. Also good in rocky terrain. I was also surprised at how well these tires clear mud. There are 2

These tires are a HUGE upgrade from the Maxxis Rekon tires I had in the Rockies. These tires were light, soft and very fast, but they just weren't right for what I wanted to use my bike for. They struggled for traction here on loose, muddy trails when I pushed my bike and hopelessly spun when I threw a hammer. On the other hand, these are CLUTCH MACHINES. I climbed steep 17% grades covered in leaves, gravel and mud with little to no slipping. In fact, I've only managed to snap these tires when…
