Using your Continental Cross King tire is straightforward. First, make sure to install it correctly on your mountain bike wheel, following the standard tire - mounting procedures. If it's a tubeless - ready tire, you can choose to use it tubeless for better performance and lower weight, but you'll need to add sealant. Check the recommended PSI (55 in this case) and adjust the air pressure accordingly before each ride. This will ensure a smooth ride and proper traction.
When riding, the Cross King can handle various terrains, whether you're on cross - country trails, technical descents, or enduro tracks. But be careful on extremely rough or sharp - edged terrains, as even with its great puncture protection, it's not indestructible.
For maintenance, after each ride, clean your tires with a mild soap and water. Check for any signs of wear, cuts, or embedded foreign objects in the tread and sidewalls. If you find any issues, address them promptly. Regularly check the air pressure and the sealant level if it's a tubeless setup. If the tread wears down significantly, it's time to replace the tire to maintain optimal performance and safety.
