Yep, I've run that set up on a couple of bikes ... no problems to report, 2.2 rear, 2.4 front on a rigid SS and 2.2 F+R on a PA.

I've run the Speed King on the back and it's been a great tyre everywhere I've been with it.
Unlike the Race King I put up front which is almost directly responsible for my broken ribs.

run speed king f & r. Like them, They roll fast, not the greatest grip though. They do shed mud quite well. I run mine backwards for extra grip (negligable effect on rolling), I have the cheap hard compound and the do wear well.

I really didn't like the speed kings at all. One of the worst tyres I've ever used. Not as fast-rolling as say Ralphs or SB8s but much less grip than either.

However, I really like mountain kings and have 2.4 supersonics front and back. I got a lot of pinchflats at first but they're tubeless now so that's no longer a problem. 🙂
