Review on Panaracer GRAVELKING Aramid Black Brown by Keith Aluguvelli

love update. 28 -> 40mm. So far over 400 miles - approx. 80% asphalt, 20% gravel. I haven't tried other 40mm gravel tires so can't compare them. Pros: - Much more convenient! Capable of operating at a pressure lower than 28mm. Cracks in the asphalt and bumps in the gravel are less noticeable. Usually do 55psi on tarmac and 40 on gravel tread. I originally bought this tire based on performance feedback. There is almost no increase in rolling resistance, if any! After hundreds of miles, the rear grips are a bit worn; more than half life left. The grip is still sufficient. Noise. A little louder than slicks, but not by much. I expected more noise. Cons: - Difficult to apply rims, although not large - Some reviewers mentioned the softness of the rubber. I can't say anything about that, there were no serious cuts or punctures. Guess the SK+ rating works. Absorbs more dirt and water. Since it has a small tread, only small particles are picked up. Recommend frame protection and/or fenders. Overall better handling, good grip and durability. Have to see how long the tread lasts!
