XC Race Tire Thread

I’ve run a lot of Schwalbe’s that past couple of seasons, but almost always with Snakeskin. No punctures or slashes to speak of.

I did get a puncture on a Nobby Nic 3 or 4 years ago on a really rocky fast descent into Minturn, Colorado when I was riding around Vail. It sealed before I hit the bottom of the trail but lost about 6 - 7 psi in the process.

When I ran Maxxis tires previously (main Ikon and Recon Race) I also had good success, so personally would be comfortable with both.

Recently added the Race King Protection to my tire options (see review above). Will see how it holds up relative to the other tires I’ve tried in the past.
