Conti Mtn King 2.4" update

Went for a ride yesterday with Tom G, and it was about 17 deg F outside, the trails were frozen solid. It is so cold that the snot dripping from your nose freezes on your jacket and pants. Water bottles, Camelback hoses, and toes froze as well. This made for awesome traction, but the tall spaced knobs on the Conti Mtn King felt squirmy in the corners. I was constantly checking tire pressure (squeezing the side) to see if I had flatted, as that is what it felt like. If there was snow, it may have been a different story, but I may be changing the back tire to something with a lower profile until the white stuff flies.
