Panaracer GravelKing SK+ 700c Tire

don't know why this tire is so popular, I'm guessing because of good marketing, and they look cool.

it feels SO slow on pavement AND gravel, and on gravel doesn't offer nearly as much grip as other options by Schwalbe, WTB, Maxxis, etc. It feels especially nervous on loose corners, even worse than many slicks because it's unpredictable. sometimes you have grip... then it disappears unexpectedly as you get onto the long corner knobs.

In addition, the tightly spaced square knobs tend to pick up tons of little pebbles that get wedged into the tread and need to be picked out. I suspect this will lead to flats eventually, since debris gets stuck and pounded in instead of just falling off, but I haven't given them a chance to find out because I took them off after a few rides.

I used this on my travel bike as an all-surface tire. I was working in Bangalore for many months prior to COVID and was running some semi-slicks, but the streets often had sand and dust buildups (lots of construction) and many of my out-of-town rides had me on mixed to gravel to sand trails & roads. These tires rolled fast enough, great traction, and I was able to set them up tubeless in the hotel room and held air for days before requiring a quick top-off. Great tire!

Being my first gravel tire, I wasn't sure what to expect when hitting mud and loose rock. I was very surprised when they took everything I could throw at them through bad Ohio hill country.

Size:700x32

Replacing ClementDonnelly MSO Xplor's as my gravelmixed terrain tires on my CX bike. Running tubeless on Stan's Grails. One tire went on easily but the other took some work to seat. A compressor helped.

I've put about 200 miles on them so far, on some rough trails, and theyve performed really well. Hook up on off camber was also good for a gravel tire. Seals have held and haven't had any punctures

Purchased the 700x38, have about 200 miles on them, Ive used these on all surface types(loose gravel, slightly muddy, pavement included) and found great traction running at just under 40 psi. Setup easy tubeless with no problems holding air since mounted.

Gravel, packed dirt? Perfect. Sometimes hard to mount tubeless on some rims.

Got these for my GT Grade, and our gravel roads in Oklahoma and NW Arkansas. Despite their "bomb proof" construction, they were relatively easy to get on my rims, and seated and beaded really well the first go. I have subjected them to everything from rough country roads to gravel and singletrack and they handled it all well. Highly recommend them.

I like these tires. They provide enough grab on gravel and chat, but are smooth on pavement. The only gripe is the tread pattern tends to throw up chat. Not a deal-breaker for me.

Great tires! I did flat in the rear tire. I sliced the side wall. The slice was huge and the tire was not faulty. Riding tubeless, my sealant wasn't sufficient. I put in a tube and continued my ride with no problems.

I have been really happy with the Gravel King tires. The first few months I threw a lot at these and they have handled everything flawlessly. The dirt trails of Forest Park in Portland to some choppy gravel in eastern Oregon I haven't had any worries with these monsters!

These tires are great for gravel roads, single track, and old forest roads! Tubeless, minimal air loss, and very comfortable on rough sections.
