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.

Hi,
I think the difference is I paid 13.00 pounds and yours are 50pounds......
four tyres last as long as opne .

liked the side wall thickness.

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.
