I should clarify, the tires I have are the Protection version, 29x2.2.  Per BicycleRollingResistance.com, THE fastest rolling mtb tire with tread and puncture resistance suitable for XC racing and everyday use.

You know those Conti Race King tires that Dylan Johnson uses and all the fast kids covet, the ones you can never find in the States? Covet no more, I can hook you up. Every couple of years I buy a big Conti tire order directly from a supplier in Germany, and this year I picked up some extra Race Kings as well, since they're almost always sold out, as they are now. When you can find 'em, they retail for ~$82. I’m asking $70 per tire.
