Comments about Continental Race King Foldable Tire - 26 x 2.2:

I'm running these both front and rear for a few months now. Traction is pretty good. They are rated as a 2.2" tire, but are actually barely 2.0" wide when mounted.
The tires roll pretty well, but you've got to mind your tire pressure. At around 28psi, they seem to roll and grip fairly well. At 31 psi, they roll even better, but you sacrifice traction/grip. Compared to Maxxis Crossmark(2.25), these roll a little better/faster, but the crossmarks were biggger (at least 2.25 wide) and felt a little more stable. These are a decent option for those of use who commute to work on our mountain bikes.

The tires seal up great with Stans.
