Tire Recommendation
Hey Guys,
Right now I am using the Continental Race King 26.
I find these tires are too aggressive for the days I wanna be on the road with my Rocky Vertex 50.
I am not aggressive on the trails, so I am looking for a tire that could give me a better road type surface, but still allow for use on the trails.
I'd say I am 80 road, 20 "offroad".
Budget is not an issue, I pay for quality!

If budget isn't an issue, get a second wheelset, even a cheap one and use it on the road. There just aren't any good compromises that I have found. Perhaps and 8 block xc would be ok on the road, but not sure.

I'd rather just tires 
If I plan to take a harder ride, I'll spend the 10 minutes changing tires / tubes.
