Well, i’m going with the Race King. 😀 It feels smooth and fast and seems to be well balanced for road and some loose dirt.
When i get my pair of wheels, i will get the Kenda’s Small Block 8 for road only.

Cheers!

Thank you all for the suggestions. 😀

Yes, the Kenda K-Rad is good, but i couldn’t find it here in Portugal and im guessing they cant order it because it was discountinued. The Small Block 8 would be nice, i guess… It rains a lot here in Portugal now, so maybe it will not perform that well on dirt because of the constant soft mud?
The Race King seems to be ok as an "all-rounder", but I agree it might be too knobby… I will try to take a look at it in a local store.

As i won’t be riding in the street/pavement only, i need something that also performs ok when i’m going on dirt adventures (weekends). In the future, i will get another wheel and will stick something like the Small Block 8 in it so i can swap it for weekdays only; but right now i need something like the Race King as it is still a good tire when it comes to rolling resistance and traction. I will take a look at it tomorrow…

Thank you all, once again!

That seems to be a good option. I can get the wired version for 19€ at my local bike shop…

Just found out this: http://forums.mtbr.com/wheels-tires/tir … 92-13.html
According to those test results, Continental’s Race King 2.2 has very good traction and corner stability WITH low rolling resistance. That is a perfect combo for me. Compared with other tires, that one looks very good. 😀

Thank you for the suggestion.
