Review on Bell Hybrid Bike Tire Defense by Grant Galloway

UPDATE: 130 miles on tyres, fronts not too worn and lower profile rears. I think I'll get 200-2250 miles on the rear before having to replace the rear. I weigh about 200 pounds with all my gear. Cycling on a mix of 35% asphalt, 50% gravel, 15% mud. No flat tire yet and tires are still rolling which is true) Reduced to 4 stars due to rapid wear. Good value for money if you need a replacement or just don't ride much. I'm getting more miles than expected and will probably try a more expensive tire next time. I measured my tire to be closer to 41.5-42mm with calipers in the widest part of the tread, that was 700 x 40mm tires. Fits rims with an internal width of 19mm, so plan for a width greater than 40mm. The tread is suitable for both gravel and dry/wet mud. We'll see how it holds up, but it looks like a good deal. The tires are well adjusted and feel consistent with no bulges or wobble. I installed on a budget gravel bike. Good to try out if you are building a gravel bike or need a 40mm grip tire and want to start cheaply. No apartments with more than 100 miles! Drive around 50-60 psi in the rear. 40 or so ahead
