Review on 🚲 Panaracer GravelKing Folding Tire, Multiple Options, Black/Brown Sidewall by Stephen Chowdary

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Spend a little more and save big

I really thought these tires would help but I have to say I am very disappointed with their price. I'm not saying these are bad tires; they're actually pretty good. However, my previous pair of Bontragers cost the same as one of these tires and had much better puncture protection. I'm also worried about the tan sidewalls, as they give the wrong impression that these tires are rubber wall tyres: they're not just brown for ascetics. The tires are grippy but not as strong as semi-slicks, and the road riding is comfortable, but the 1.75 width makes them less flexy than thinner tires. Finally, I think I will not use them for gravel. They are great for commuting but not gravel. Maybe my expectations were too high, but my cheaper Bontragers were better.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Socket required
