Hi,
I love the Rubber Queens excelent ride.........
ONLY FAULT the walls go and thats the end of it plenty of tread no good.

Changed over to rubber X king 2 .
They look lighter (2.4 )
Any body know or used them.
Going to put them on the rear - It is muddy season and any thing to lighten the bike is got to be good.

Also, I light tyre isnt the key thing in the winter when riding round forest. A good sticky tyre on the front that hooks up well on the wet roots and clearing of mud from the tred is also important.

this is what i have on the front http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/schw ... -prod83195

i was thinking of a thinner tyre for the rear as the cleanance on the 2.35 on my frame isnt the best, but that is more down to the frame and not the tyre.

RRp maybe 50 for the TrailStar compound, but I payed 40 and the rear is cheaper still. they will last a long time as they have "snake Skin" walls that protect the side walls etc.
