For the record I used the poor man's (non Black Chilli) Mountain Kings for a while and loved them in any condition. Never used Rubber Queens though.
Why not fit the Mountain Kings and test it out for yourself... what's the worst that can happen?
I never change tyres to suit conditions, just adapt how I ride. Keeps things interesting

Im finding rubber queens great in muddy conditions. All depends on what sort of mud is on your local trails.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Haha, perhaps. I used them on my old SX Trail and never had any issues with them!

I ran Folding Rubber Queens front and rear on my XC Pro, and have a standard Mountain King II on the front of the HT. The Queens certainly have better grip but roll a tad slower than the Kings due to the more aggressive tread pattern. I'd personally go with the Queens all year round out of the two, as they seemed to be good in all conditions for me and I prefer to have the better grip than the slightly faster rolling speed.0
