Was curious about this wider tyre trend so I went for the widest tyre that would clear my Canyon frame.
Purchased these 35mm file tread tyres with a very long name: Vee Tyre Co’s ‘London Road Gravel Commuter’ for £30 a set from PlanetX.
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much at this price point. I’ve been using these for my daily total 22km commute through London (as a key worker) in the past three months. I run them at about 50PSI and I gotta say they’re really comfortable and they feel as robust as Panaracer Pasela PTs. They’re slower than the GP4000s I normally run but I’m not racing through London and after those double shifts I appreciate the added comfort.
Did also pick up some Veloflex Masters in 28 for €46 euro for the set last week. And I gotta say they were the easiest tyres I’ve fitted to my tubeless ready wheels. Hopefully they’ll last longer than the Vittoria Corsas.
