Continental Mountain King II 27.5 x 2.2" Tubeless Ready Tire

The Mountain King is a fantastic all-mountain tire, especially when you run the 2.4" on both ends of your bike. For general purpose trail riding, pair the larger tire with the narrower 2.2" Mountain King UST in the rear, or for marathon racers who prefer a bit more speed, with the lower-knobbed X-King 2.2 UST as the back tire.

Continental revised the Mountain King tread pattern so that it's more open, with stronger, taller side knobs for more sure-footed cornering, especially on hard pack. The tread is made from Black Chili Compound rubber, where tiny particles of carbon are added to the tread. This allows the tire to conform to the ground more readily, aiding both wet and dry grip. And because it's a Tubeless Ready tire, the Mountain King can be run without a tube, with or without a sealant.

ProTection: updated with an UST-style bead and an additional layer of rubber-coated, high strength nylon that spans the complete width of the tire providing added durability and air tightness. Combined with sealant, ProTection models deliver low-pressure tubeless performance with improved damping, traction and rolling characteristics

Another point: Running the larger volume 2.4" tire is an ideal match for all-mountain riders who need the added protection of sealant in places with a persistent threat from thorns or baby heads (or both!), and for those who also want the extra cushion that a bigger-volume tire provides.
