  • Looking for options for a next build in 650x47B, and hesitating between three tyres:

    • panaracer gravelking sk in 650x48B
    • Wtb horizon road plus tcs in 650x47B
    • Wtb venture venture road plus in 650x47B

    They would be used with tubes at the moment, and my riding is mainly road of various condition but still paved (probably 70% of my riding) and light gravel similar to us fire roads (probably 20-25% of my riding) but with occasional paths with bigger stones and debris or very easy singletrack (probably 5-10% of my riding).

    I don’t want a tire that would feel to difficult to ride on pavement (say as a mtb tire), but I don’t want to be limited in the routes I am taking by my tires if they are only road-focused. Also, would appreciate if the tire is reasonably puncture resistant.
    Today I think my need and my riding might point toward the horizon, but wondering how the venture is overall as it seems more grippy and more durable. Anyone tried one or the other?
    Would like to try wtb as I already tried tires from panaracer (albeit another model), unless everyone say go for graveling sk.

    Cheers!

  • I would choose specialized pathfinders over these three, it's a much better tyre for that type of use IMO and rolls really fast on road

  • Used to love pathfinders, but with a loaded bike found them very sketchy to corner on road.

    They're great unloaded though.
