Review on Experience Unmatched Performance with the Panaracer GravelKing Slick TLC Folding Tyre by Samuel Nguyen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Non-gravel bike tire

I don't know how they can sell this tire as a gravel tire. After running 2 sets of these tires and driving 1800 miles on them, this is the most pathetic excuse for a tire I have ever had. I've had more flats on these tires than any other tire I've ever owned, and that's no exaggeration. I've tried these Orange Seal tubeless tires as well as Tubolito tubes, neither offer puncture protection. All tires are the same, they will get small cuts from glass or rocks and will either leave you with sealant all over your bike and legs or you will have to change tubes at the side of the road. I can't stress this enough please do not buy this tire. There's a reason Panaracer released + versions of all of these tires, because the regular versions just don't cut it. I also have a Panaracer Gravelking SK+ and it's an amazingly strong and durable tire. I've put a few hundred miles on it with no problems so I have nothing against the Panaracer, just those special tires.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
