Dammit... You really have to watch all these Conti sellers out there! Deceptive bastards!! I've bought 4 Race Kings in my life so far and none of them have been Black Chili. Now 2 of them weren't supposed to be as they were cheap takeoffs on ebay I wanted to test out for cheap, but the other 2 were.
The most recent one I just bought was from Price Point:
Contintental Race King 29er Tire | Continental | Brand | www.PricePoint.com
They call Black Chili under specifications, however the tire was made in India and not RaceSport or Protection. I took a gamble thinking that it was going to be either of those and made in Germany... NOPE. I suppose I need to contact Price Point about this.
The other Race King I bought was supposed to be Protection version, but it says Protection nowhere on it and it was made in Thailand interestingly. I bought it 1.5 years ago and didn't really realize it till recently after I was more familiar with the tires.
Now, Black Chili only comes from Germany and is only featured on RaceSport and Protection right? Seems correct to me anyways.
Tbh the compound used in these "other" tires is pretty decent (I have 1900 miles on current set)... however I've been super curious about running Black Chili just to see what they are like.
*sighs*... so once again Black Chili eludes me again!!
