Continental Cross King Protection 2.2. The Black Chili compound is great in the wet conditions and the large void tread clears really well in my experience. Also, remember to run through the standing water puddles to help clean things.

@krka73: THIS! The Kenda Regolith has been a fantastic alternative to me and others who like the Forekaster, Nobby Nic, and the Bontrager XR4. Regolith SCT is way more durable than snakeskin, EXO casing or the XR4 casing. It is stiffer too. The lighter TR casing has been fantastic on the front of my Ripmo and I love it's suppleness yet surprisingly durable. Way better than the last gen Nobby Nic Snake skin on the front of another bike. The difference is the Regolith has more grip than any of these tires in our dry central Oregon climate. Currently also trying the Karma 2 SCT rear end its brilliant. Very similar to the Forekaster but a lot burlier and more predictable side knobs. Going to get a Karma 2 TR front and Rush SCT rear for the short travel bike next. Likely 2.2s on 30mm ID rims. The other 2.4s on 34mm ID rims still have a nice round profile too. These Kenda 2.6s need 34mm or larger IMHO. After experimenting a lot, I'm running Kenda tires on all of my bikes. Lighter but still tough, These new casings, and patterns are killer. Tread widths measure true to size on properly wide rims. Check out some YouTube reviews and you might find a decent coupon code too. Way less than Maxxis and still cheaper than Specialized with the coupon.
