I've got the 26x 2.2 which is a going to be quite a different beast to the 700x35c.
In 26 inch flavour there isn't really anything else out there that's in the same league - really light, wide, pretty much a slick in the middle, but with a small tread that does offer some grip when its loose. Then some really low profile nobbles on the side to give some confidence in the corners.
Not sure how this translates into the 35c offering and there is a lot more choice for light, supple slickish gravel/cross tyres. They are probably still pretty good though.
Before I forget, you say the speed kings are good... I'm looking at the 700c version. How do you rate them for road, gravel and mud?
