What is your go to gravel tyre?

My golden rule is to buy what's on special. Tyres from a year or two ago are often much cheaper and usually just as good.

My golden rule? Well since Covid, shortages and the fact that I live on the edge of the world (in terms of availability of anything) I just get what I can get my hands on. A mediocre tyre does not make riding NOT FUN, it just makes it more challenging, and we all like a challenge, don’t we? 😅

My golden rule Schwalbe G-One RS or Specialised Pathfinder gravel tyres - currently running the Schwalbe G- One RS in 40c and loving these tyres - I have run WTB Riddlers in 700c, they were ok but mostly they looked good with tan walls

Pirelli Cinturato ! No loss of PRESSION, no punctures for the past 9 months, good grip, extremely durable and made in France. You can't go wrong with those underrated tires. Tried Schwalbe, Hutchinson (worst), Vittoria, Specialized, WTB, MAXXIS....

I completely agree. Wider tires,wider rims,tubeless and inserts. Personally I use CushCore on all my gravel and MTB wheel sets. I carry extra sealant and the 🥓 tire plug repair kits. Rarely ever get a flat that needs a tube inserted but carry a TPU tube just in case.

TPU works much better for me than tubeless. It's lighter, less messi and easier if you want to change tires. 👋🏻

It's not just about which size fits into your bike but about how the wheels feel. You want the optimal inertia for every width. That means 622 mm for up to 32 mm, 584 mm for 42 mm and 559 mm for 56 mm and more.

Best WTB advertisement I’ve seen! Great job! 😂

Since I do gravel rides in autumn/winter only, I got a pair of Pirelli Cinturato Gravel S, perfect for wet and muddy conditions you find in these seasons 💪🏻😎🔝

Challenge Tires are all my favorite - comfortable, high thread count and rolling resistance

Golden rule? On tyre width, a simple formula is a great place to start when choosing your tyre. Bodyweight x 0.3 + 15. For me, at just over 100kg, that is 100 x 0.3 + 15, which equates to 45. That is the minimum tyre width I'll generally use, though I'll occasionally drop to a 40mm when I need something fast on smooth gravel. I've gamed out the formula at all bodyweights, and it seems to work well.

For light gravel and tarmac I'm using Maxxis Velocita 700x40. Almost a road tire in tarmac but strong to some gravel and "paves" roads.

Very Concise, thank you. Been looking for years

27.5x2.2 Continental Race King Protection! Noisy on tarmac but damned fast and cushy on any surface you can throw under them. And surprisingly capable even in mud !!!

I've tried a lot of different tires out like the pathfinders and wtb's , currently running Sawtooths and I love them , they surprised me how fast and grippy they are

Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M. Been on it for two years now. Great on the pavement. Great on the gravel. Only niggle, it only comes in 35c and 40c. 40c won't fit on my frame (rear). So I'm running the 35c. Would kill for a 38c.

There is a huge factor that you always miss: weight of rider and extra loads. If you weigh upwards of 100kg, you will need very strong wheels, so 650b MTB wheel set will be stronger than the average 700c. It will also change the needed tire pressure and a wider tire will be better.

2:21 - only one litre per tyre?

Congrats on missing the all-rounder in WTB’s lineup: the Nano 40. I’ve ridden that year-round and the wear pattern proves the tire’s versatility. The continuous central lug strip takes most of the wear on tarmac (it’s what balded first), while the very aggressive and widely-spaced edge lugs provided tremendous purchase and excellent shedding in snow and mud. Good rolling on the smooth stuff and great bite in the sloppy. Yeah, the tread pattern was borrowed from an MTB tire. Is that why you don’t like it? Or could you not recognize the function in the form?

Did you make a video about that strange front suspension? Can't find one on your channel...

Given the recent mudfest on Outbound 2023, what tires would you recommend for such?

Yes Schwalbe only all the way ! 27.5 2.35mm 650b !

Can somebody please help me, I'm so confused about tires. I got Pirelli Cinturato M gravel 700x35. It was a nice deal, so I didn't think much about it. I want to travel on dirt and gravel as much as possible, but I will also spend a decent amount of time on pavement. Will these tires slow me down? Will they be too noisy for the road? Are they too narrow for true off-road? Should I sell them and get something else? I will do longer trips, weekend backpacking, and maybe longer. I will constantly switch between different surfaces. Can someone please recommend me something?

good stuff.

Most knobblier gravel tyres look like 90s mtb tyres with some wacky thread designs.

Thanks god bless

Whats that on the fork?

who puts what looks like have a litre of sealant into a tire?😂

warning this is for beginner riders

If you want over 45mm width or an insert or nobby tires there is one thig i need to tell you: Gravel Bikes are a trend, Mountainbikes are actually usefull in rough terrain.

Wow - Get to the point already - stop promoting your next videos. Talk about the person who loves to hear themselves talk . Four minutes and 10 seconds and I’m stopping this video to write this comment onto the next. four minutes of him not saying anything absolutely garbage need to learn KZfaq etiquette if you’re gonna try to provide information to people for the love of God, four minutes of my life gone.

For me the most important part when choosing a tyre is: never choose WTB.

Schwalbe Jumbo Jim is perfect, used them for the Dorset Dirt Dash on endless gravel/sand, just perfect and no slower than the skinny puncture prone, tooth rattling trend.
