Review on AMERICAN CLASSIC Gravel Bike Tire: Premium Tubeless Ready Bicycle Tire for Optimal Performance on Loose Gravel and Various Terrains by Ricardo Ware

Used this tire as front and aggregates as rear for a 100m gravel race in Trinidad County - dry dusty roads and some tarmac except it rained the night before and we found dirt. The tires performed much better on dry pavement (and pavement) than on mud. Don't get me wrong, they didn't clog or slip, but in the mud they got a little too sticky, but I can't fault them as they weren't specifically designed for mud. On a hard pack they rolled great, didn't feel floaty or loose and gave me no problems, no breaks, no punctures. Installation - They did require compressed air but sealed quickly and had no noticeable leaks. Measurements: Wentworth came up 1mm short, 39mm on a 25mm rim which is amazing. The unit corresponded to the size - 40 mm. Durability: Wentworth shows no signs of wear after 100m, the unit performs a bit worse - the wear is more noticeable and I expect the thread to end after about 800-1000m; However, for the price they sell for it's a pretty good deal, especially as the carcass seems pretty solid and you could end up using it as a semi-slick for a few hundred more miles. Performance: Some people complain that they aren't as flexible as more expensive tires - to be honest I don't know how to tell by that and I've been riding and trying hundreds of tires for many, many years. All I can say is that these are a great set of tires for dry weather riding (as well as slightly wet weather) and they won't let you down. If you're a pro or bitcoin rich, definitely spend 4x more on another brand: you might save 50-100 grams and get a small performance boost, but for 99% of us this is a great option - I'll try it 32mm slicks out for my off-road wheelset.
