    Out of interest, are the Rubber Queen 2,2" RaceSport any good in the snow ?

    Pretty soon I'll be looking for a new front tyre and with these having good reviews I was thinking about getting one, however, being in the highlands of Scotland and winter around the corner I'd like to know if these will cut it ?

    Cheers

    I have ordered 2x x-kings race sport for my cube ltd sl and ordered 2 x rubber queens racesport for my 456 evo 2. Anyone know how long delivery is from bike discount.
    Thanks jamie

    I normally get stuff in about 5 days from them but I'm in France so possibly arrives quicker than deliveries to the UK

    I did a couple of snowy rides (that's rides with snowy sections) last year on my black Chilli tyres (RQ front, MK2 Protection rear) and they seemed fine to me but when it starts snowing over here I have better things to do than ride my bike :wink:

    Well the tires all arrived today! What a service from bike discount considering I only ordered them on wed afternoon.
    I had been at glentress all day just steped through the front door and the dpd guy was there with my delivery. He gave me the oddest stare ever maybe it was because I was head to toe in mud!
    Turned out to be a great day!

    ^^ Cheers Felix, I'll be on the hunt for them, unfortunately Bike-Discount no longer have them.... I should've been quicker. Good to hear you've got your order Jamie ( lucky begger at that price )

    Just fitted a pair of 2.2" black chilli UST's I picked up on ebay for a song :)

    First ride was unevenfull but I did enjoy the extra volume over the 2.1" Nevegal's they replaced.
