This is the third set of tires on my 29er hard tail. It came with a set of Specialized Fast Trak 2.0 tires. They were only good in dry conditions. Basically they were slightly bigger cyclocross tires.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I replaced them with Maxxis Ardent 2.25 tires. I have been pretty happy with them. But I noticed a month or two ago that all of the side knobs were shredding off.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

So I decided to try something new. I put Continental Trail King 2.2s on my ride. This is only 1 week in, but wow! These things work great!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These tires have some big burly knobs on them. They hook up on rocks and roots when covered in sand or water.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

They are directional tires, by that I mean you mount them specifically for the front or back wheel.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Trail King is on the left and the Ardent is on the right. I am really psyched on these tires. They work great in all conditions. From the gnarliest rocks to smooth trail. <\/p>\n
