Perfect tire for my new ETronX e-bike.

The perfect tire for my new ETronX e-bike. Mostly on the road, but also copes well on gravel paths. Good grip and looks great.

Pros
  • The ZSG natural rubber compound is durable and offers a superior driving experience. The puncture-proof carcass provides reinforcement throughout the tire.
Cons
  • compatible.

Got a cut on the side wall. Not a very fast ride.

I bought these tires to find a high performance, high puncture protection tire for racing. Well I had a sidewall crack in mild conditions and found that these tires tend to roll pretty slowly. They pull really hard on the sidewalk. I have found that my knobby WTB Resolute 42 rolls much faster.

Pros
  • 700 x 26C tires perfect for gravel and mud, ideal for rough and flat surfaces
Cons
  • Not sure

Not worth it for tires and tubes

I'm waiting on the curb for my friend to pick me up as I type this. These are Gravelkings+ tires that are supposed to be more stable than normal Gravelkings - that's all complete nonsense. I've had 7 flats with these tires in the last three months and it's no longer worth it. I probably had over 10 extra holes stuck in the sealant. I had to stop and fix the other 7 or call the car home because I ran out of CO2. Although they roll very well on gravel, they really do. But if you feel like you're…

Pros
  • Advanced Extra Alpha Cord, AX technology uses an extremely narrow cord woven into an ultra-high density sheath for lightness and flexibility, increased density and improved cut and abrasion resistance
Cons
  • I remember not me

Sophisticated setup, great feel

I have 38's and with Campagnolo Shamal rims I had to run them tubed for a couple of rides to set the beads good enough to fit properly without tubes. The good news is that the bead is really tight so you can be sure it will stay in place once installed. The bad news is you're better off having a strong tubeless mojo to tune them (at least on something like Shamals). Once I set them up they were a dream. I use them at around 40psi and they are very comfortable on tarmac, rough pavement, dry…

Pros
  • Folding tires, tubeless compatible, black tread and black sidewalls
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Really "outstanding " tires. Be sure to buy Gravelking Plus (+) tires. Keyword "Plus " (+).

I have driven over 5000 miles on Gravelking Plus (+) tires. Your performance is outstanding. Based on my extensive experience with these tires, it's important for me to say that I wouldn't buy a Gravelking tire without upgrading to the Plus (+) version. You will find that the standard gravel tire gets too many punctures. I liked the stock Gravelking tires but couldn't stand the myriad punctures. When I switched to Gravelking "plus" the problem with the flat tires went away. A slight weight…

Pros
  • Max PSI 60
