Panaracer GravelKing SK Plus Tire 700 x 43 Tubeless Blk/Brown ProTite Protection RF743-GKSK-P-D

Nice all around tire, fast rolling, good grip in all conditions, I struggled a little bit mounting them to the rim, had to use the air compressor to set the bead for tubeless, other that, great!;

I give these tires a 4 out of 5 stars. On hard pack gravel, 5. On loose gravel, 5. Hard pack or loose dirt, 5. Asphalt, 5. Muddy conditions, 2. Overall, I really like these tires. Low rolling resistance, comes in wide sizes (I'm rolling 27.5x2.1), and the tan sidewalls look great. It's a great quality tire for the price, and unless you're riding through muddy conditions, you won't be disappointed.;

I have deep respect for Panaracer but these tires are ridiculously heavy, relative to the competition at this price. They were heavier than claimed weight (returned).;

These are my go-to for summer riding. I barely ride tarmac and even around here (Indianapolis) our roads are mostly pot-holed to gravel anyway. Tread allows for fast rolling at higher PSI's while maintaining an excellent number of points of contact for traction. Thought went into this square-grid design. Also love how they make these gravel specific tires in sizes just above typical frame max widths like the 43c. Perfect for a bike rated for 42c for a rider knowing they won't need mud clearance.

Remember, its not the tires fault if you don't have the tools to properly mount...a Tubeless tire that you can mount with a floor pump should not be the expected standard. Mounting tubeless pretty much requires an air compressor. So don't buy into bad reviews mentioning how they couldn't mount without one.

These ARE slightly harder to mount because the casing is tougher. That's not a bad thing...;

Good tyre on tracks and road.;
