Recently ran a pair of Continental RaceKings. Fast and smooth. Living in Central Florida I'm riding on sand and leaf litter. My rides went from to every time the trail turned. But, yeah, if we had more packed stuff, I'd love them.

I was pretty surprised that Conti had not been mentioned yet and Maxxis dominated the discussion. That is why I asked - I am just not in the know.

I currently run Schwalbe and those tires seem to be high quality. Just the tread on mine or just average.

I rode my XR1s in the mud today at the Quantico Centennial Epic

They did better than expected, but not as good as a mud tire. Especially after I got to the parts of the trails that had been ridden by the everyone else other than the 50mi group

Once everyone got thru the blue loop, it was pretty bad. The OCS loop was good.

Glad I got to go over there. I'd never been past the gym before. I grew up going down to MCB Quantico cause Dad was Army and that was the closest military post.

+1 for me here in Southern California. Loose sandy over hard mostly where I ride. For me Ikons and Ardent felt slightly more than needed.
