So much overlap in mountain bike fields, but I suppose it's necessary when you've got that many people racing.
Continental X-Kings: 2.4" front and 2.2" rear. They've been okay (good for £15 a tyre) but the sidewalls are too thin to seal up tubeless properly. I've been running 18 psi in the front and 22 psi in the rear without any punctures thus far. I suppose 2.4" lightweight XC tyres are few and far between. Schwalbe looks like the best option thus far, most of their all-round offerings go up to 2.35", get decent reviews and seal up well.
rly? I find 30psi up front pretty stiff on my Conti Vertical UST 2.3s, and I'm nearly 100kg. Proper UST tyres + proper UST rims = no trouble with keeping the beads seated. On soft ground, I drop them down to about 20f/25r.
