WTBRaddler Fast Rolling Bike Tire - High-Volume Gravel Tire with SG2 Puncture Protection - Optimized for Speed & Traction - Ideal for Gravel Adventures - Black or Tan Sidewall

This set was installed after trying Riddler 37s, Panaracer slicks in 30 and 38, and several others that claim to be gravel bike specific. They are all very good. I chose the Raddler 44s because I've been riding on very rough gravel and very steep roads in WV that seemed to require bigger tires with a bit more knobby. While these are slower on the road, they have great control in the dirt, especially bombing down steep roads with loose gravel. I do not run tubeless, so I cannot speak to that. I do run these at about 35 PSI with good butyl tubes and they are very comfortable. I don't really get a lot of punctures on any tires these days. If anything, new cycling tire technology is exceptional compared to the stuff we rode 20 years ago. I do really like that we have so many options and that we can refine our riding experiences.

So far so good! Im using these with tubes, and theyve been a good improvement from my previous tires. Better grip in gravel, not too much drag on pavement. Just wish tires weren't so $$$ for rubber.

A great upgrade for any gravel bike. The set up was relatively easy although the weird part is I did not hear a pop noise when seating the tire but after adding sealant and riding a few times I have not had to add any air.Update: Road about 35 miles today, mixed pavement and gravel, they thinner casings on these tires add some extra cushion to the ride you can really feel it on climbs.

I liked the look of these tires and they definitely improved the look of my black-on-black bike. In fact, I like the look so much I'm going to have to install tan bar tape to complete "the look".As for performance as a gravel tyre: the first ride was a gravel Gran Fondo in Flagstaff, Az and they worked well. It's difficult to compare these to the previous pair of tyres (I'm not sure how to compare tyres without undertaking a laborious set of controlled tests). But, overall I've no complaints.

Mounted easily and hold air. Ready to rock ‘n roll.

I usually don't write reviews but I was super disappointed with these tires. They installed easily and looked great on my gravel bike so I was ready to take them on a ride.The only gravel tires I used before were the Maxxis Velocitas that came with my Giant Revolt Advance. They were great but pretty slick for gravel and didn't have enough traction going up hills on dirt and gravel roads. I liked the aggressive pattern on the Raddlers thus my reason for purchasing them. Also, I never had a puncture in my last ~300 miles of riding on the Velocitas. If I did, the Stans sealant took care of it and I never was aware.I planned a 43 mile route in TN on some nice dirt and gravel roads. The first four miles were dirt and I was feeling really good about the tires. Then I hit my first patch of gravel, nothing crazy in my mind. I've ran into way more gnarly gravel and didn't think a thing about it. As soon as the tires hit the gravel I got two flats immediately. Stans sealant in both tires didn't even work. I then had to add two Stan Dart plugs to each tire. One kinda took, but had to stop later in the ride to adjust the plug because it didn't "just work" and the other plug in the back tire never fully stopped the leak and neither did the 4 oz of sealant. So the remainder of my 43 mile ride which was 39 miles I had to stop every 3 to 5 miles and pump more air into my tires.We still had a blast on the ride, but the tires were a BIG disappointment. Definitely cannont recommend for gravel. Dirt is fine for them.

After riding these for a month now, just thought I'd drop a note. I put these on a used Giant TXC Advanced Pro (42 mm), running tubeless. On all types of surfaces, I've been very satisfied with the ride. From pavement to recently laid down loose crushed rock, I've stayed upright. It's the rainy season here in Northern CA, and through muddy hay fields, slick sandy mushy trails, etc. I've felt sure footed They haven't thrown up lots of mud, and come clean pretty quickly after exiting the puddles. They don't "weep" the sealant either, so happy with that as well. Very pleased with the performance.

The performance of the tire on the gravel is very well even on pavement the smooth rolling was nice the downside to the tire is that it has thousands of these little micro holes so when you first install these on your tubeless setup first by mounting the tire and getting it to seat then add double the amount of recommended sealant if you're using the 40c I would suggest adding a leased three to four ounces instead of the regular two that way it can be used to plug up the holes

Que he probado en mi bicicleta. Super resistentes, el gajo suficientemente grande para no preocuparte por espinas o vidrios en la calle. Pero si es un poco pesada.

Sinceramente necesitaba unas cubiertas que sirvieran para todo y cumplen de sobra con su cometido. Lo mejor con diferencia, el vendedor! Lo recomiendo una y mil veces!!

sicuramente esistono marche più blasonate e conosciutemontato sulla mia gravel al momento non riscontro problemiparticolare non da poco: risulta essere morbido nel montaggio e non richiede troppa forza

Good grip and runs well on road what's not to like
