Planning a bikepacking trip in the Dolomites and trying to pick a tyre that would work well for a loaded bike, covering anything from dreamy tarmack to rocking single tracks. For a similar trip last year I went with 700x45 front and 700x40 rear. Will try to add 5mm to both and see if I can squeeze them into the frame.
Current tyre choice options:
Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H
Vittoria Terreno Dry
Possible other options:
Schwalbe Overland
Teravail Cannonball
Any other that should be considered? Durability needs to be considered as much as rolling resistance. This will be a summer trip, so dry conditions expected.
