• The chat on Gravel Kings needs a big pinch of salt I think. In the past there was only the tubed version. There is now a tubeless version, a "plus" version and a tubeless plus version. There are also multiple different tread patterns. The manufacturing has obviously changed over the last 5-10 years, to the point where I think it's almost useless to say "Gravel Kings puncture a lot" when there's probably been over 100 versions of the tyre at this point.

    Having said that here's my opinion - I had the pre-tubeless slicks and I thought they were a terrible combo of no grip and multiple punctures. I've got some tubeless SKs which were perfectly fine until one of fuckers exploded blowing tubeless shit everywhere in my flat. My mate on the other hand really rates the (tubeless) slicks and has only punctured once or twice on them in a few thousand km.

    If you like them I would just ignore the opinion of people in this thread and go off your own experience
