Review on Tires Gravel King 27 5X1 75 650Bx43 by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All in all a great sport tire

I currently run the 700x50 version. I used 700x45 before. I find these tires offer excellent roll balance and good grip on dirt roads. I used them in combination with sidewalks and weather conditions. On paved roads, sandy paths, hard surfaces, loose gravel. One thing I noticed is that the front tire tends to kick a significant amount of rocks. No problem if you have fenders, it may not be good for your frame if you don't. I ride them without cameras, I had two apartments, one in front and one in back. It was caused by glass while driving through a major city over the weekend. After the drunks broke all the bottles on the floor. The sealant did a good job on the front wheel. The back had to be closed. Overall I like these tires. They are quite flexible and roll well over any terrain. I would say they are a bit sensitive to punctures.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some bugs
