Both the Schwalbe Rick 2.4 (I tried several sets of these) and all these so called 2.4 Continentals measure around 2.28 inches / 58 mm.
The Continentals offer no cornering feel; you go around corners, but you never really feel what the tyres are doing.
Very good so far. They really are my favourite tyres I have ever tried. Note that my trails are quite smooth mostly.
Also worth mentioning: these just recently released WTB 120 TPI provide much greater stability than the Continentals, especially at very low pressures—around 15 psi or 1.0 to 1.1 bar.
I have the same observations with the Continentals and have since moved on to something different on that bike. I have Rick 2.4’s on another bike and they at least measure 2.35" on a 29 mm internal rim.
I need to try several new XC tires efficiently and interleave the trials a bit (based on weather, logistics, etc). I’d like to make my UX of swapping them “better.” Faster, more reliable, automatic, cheaper, cleaner, etc.
Use case: My wife has a full XC race schedule planned this season for the first time. Conditions may vary between pure mud to loose over hard and everything in-between. My office is my shop. It’s 8x8’ and contains my computer, laundry room, and all bike tools & storage.
End goal: I hope to quickly develop my knowledge of which tires she likes in what conditions so I can minimize using her race-week course prep rides as tire trial-and-error, because @Andrewbn42 nailed it:
“These tires are going to be great, I promise,” ≠ trust-inspiring. 
Much better to have already ridden them before arrival and on-course in race-week conditions.
Logistics questions:
How do I save sealant quickly and reliably? Pour tire to tire very carefully? Is there a tool? A method I don’t know about? Right now, I pour tire to tire very carefully and top up by eyeballing it.
What about if you have glitter in it? Does it change your conservation method?
Is glitter actually useful? Standard and necessary practice? Lifesaver? Nice-to-have? Mostly or totally useless and rumor-mill fodder?
Does anyone have an air compressor (with tank) or other tool that’s even easier/faster than the airshot? Or a pump with an integrated tank that they love? I live in an RV and don’t have a compressor but am open to buying a small one if someone’s got a recommendation or thoughts on what to avoid!
What other question should I be asking? What else do I need to know? Open to anything I need to hear!
Tire-specific questions:
Regarding sealant - I break the bead and use a sealant syringe to suck out as much sealant as I can. Can pour into a vessel or just back into your new tire. Sealant syringe
I would not be using glitter at this day and age. If you sealant isn’t performing without additives, try another sealant. What are you using?
Turkey baster and a plastic water bottle is what I use. Cheap and easy. Break the bead on the installed tire, suck sealant, then remove tire. Install new tire almost all the way (leaving a gap to put sealant in. Dump sealant from bottle, add more fresh sealant as required, then put the rest of the bead on and inflate. Very rarely do I add sealant through the valve stem. I’m constantly swapping tires, it goes pretty quick.
Not the cheapest route, but I installed a 12v onboard compressor in/under our camper van. It’s cheaper to just get a 120v pancake compressor (if you have access to a 120v plug) and that’s what I used to do, but they take up a lot of space and are a pain to haul around. Anything high pressure with a tank will work, just need that initial shot of air. CFM’s and duty cycle doesn’t really matter. This is the compressor I installed -
A couple other tips -
Always remove valve cores before removing old tires (the air comes out quicker and prevents sealant from clogging up your cores). And always keep the valve core out when doing the initial seating. That’s not always required, but generally makes the seating go much quicker. You’ll need a little rubber end on you air nozzle to interface with the valve stem
We have an ARB twin mounted in our van with Chucks mounted to the front and rear bumpers for convenience. I always use this to seat my tires when the floor pump doesn’t do it. I was without it for a couple months as I was moving it between vehicles and I had to run to a bike shop to seat a tire. I mounted the compressor quite quickly after that inconvenience.
I have a cheap oilless compressor with a 3 gallon tank that I’ve used for at least 15 years. The tank is what provides the high volume air flow to facilitate seating tubeless tires. Harbor Freight and Walmart have similar compressors for ~$75. They include regulators so the pressure can be dialed down to not exceed the pressure rating of the tire or rim.
