  • Fast rolling knobbly tyres, 700x40/45 flavor, for all terrain bikepacking, what are people's recommendations?

    I am considering:

    Donnelly x'plor mso 700 x 50 - Impossible to find
    Pirelli Cinturato gravel H 700 x 45 - Would like a more spaced out thread, in case it gets wet/rocky
    WTB Raddler 700 x 44 - Good option, concerned about sidewall puncture/cut resistance
    WTB Resolute 700 x 42 - Good candidate
    WTB Venture and Byway - Both nice and probably fast, concerned about grip on wet/rocky
    Teravail Cannonball 700 x 42/50 - Interesting

    Other?
    Continental Terra Speed
    Schwalbe G-One bite
    Maxxis Rambler
    Hutchinson Tuareg
    Challenge getaway
    Challenge gravel grinder
    Anything Vittoria?

  • Teravail Cannonballs are very nice in 650Bx47 flavour, might do you well on 700C too.

  • I have run terra speed 35mm and wtb resolute - the former feel faster / nicer on road and don't give up too much off road - resolutes felt sluggish on road

  • Pirelli Gravel M seem the best fit. Due in stock 1st week of May at Sigma....

  • I'd just ignore any semi slick of that list. They just suck when it's loose, and do nothing in mud.
    WTB resolute I love. Is light, big and supple, and it does well in almost everything. Won't say it's the most durable gravel tire but they survived plenty of gnarly rocky stuff.
    Maxxis rambler is what I'd ride if I wasn't on resolutes. They just look fast.
    Pirelly cinturato and WTB raddler is what @Pmccee rides like an absolute maniac so can't be that bad.
