One tire left! The secret of the Continental Race King is a large volume casing mated to a low-profile tread pattern that not only spells speed, but also incredible all-round traction and control.

asked by: a guest This might be a dumb question, but can you run these tubeless?

anwered by: a guest Been running them tubeless for a year now with no problems. Stans on Stans Arches!

anwered by: mcacciapalle No question is a dumb question. It looks like continental doesn't offer a UST (tubeless) version in a 29. There are other brands that do make a tubeless in a 29.

The Conti Race Kings are my go-to tire for 29ers. While the tread might not look like much, it has amazing grip on hardpack single track like we have here in west Tennessee. They would not be a good choice for rocky areas due to the thin sidewall, but so far, they have proven to be quite durable. Because the casing is so voluminous, it makes a great tire for rigid bikes. And at the current price, this tire an astounding value.
Great all around tire I ride San Antonio Hill country rocky technical trails and they work great with stans on my spinergy 29er wheels durability is much better than my Racing Ralphs.
