Review by nwARReviewed 3/17/2020by nwARDaily CommuterSeattle, WA11 of 11 customers found this review helpful.Good rolling on tarmac, decent grip on firm mudFitted these to a pair of ENVE G23 rims. They slipped on without tools or swearing, but I was surprised that they inflated to 38mm on these rims most tires end up wider than specified - not narrower. Still running them with inner tubes, so can't comment on tubeless setup issues.
I've been riding on this setup on muddy but reasonably firm gravel. Despite the shallower tread (to get that extra speed), the grip has been surprisingly good, even up the steep slopes of one of our local cyclocross courses.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/29/2021by AnonymousNorthville, Michigan5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Love these tiresThe paved roads around here are not in good condition. I use these tubeless at low pressure (<40psi). The ride is comfortable and not slow. The small knobs provide adequate grip for riding the gravel roads in my area. The roads are mostly dirt with embedded rock and not much in the way of deep loose rock. I get a little over 2000 miles on a set with mostly riding pavement.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 11/30/2020by AnonymousCompetitive RacerRichmond, VA10 of 15 customers found this review helpful.Short term review: Just okayThe tire doesnt impress me. The nubs feel like they might as well not be there at all with how little grip the tire has on loose over hard terrain. I dont feel like the rolling resistance efficiency on the road makes up for the lack of traction where it is important. I rather have a smooth file tread or a more grippy all-rounder, but not a middle ground that doesnt excel in either area.

Review by RexyBabyReviewed 8/23/2020by RexyBabyCompetitive RacerSanta Fe NM usa13 of 15 customers found this review helpful.Fast, yes, poor mileage, pin hole leaks in case, not goodTire is fast, good traction but high wear rate. Developed a slow leak, put in the bathtub to check. Had a about a dozen pinhole leaks in an area of two inches. Had plenty of sealant in the tire, but wouldn't stop these tiny leaks. No cuts or holes on the outside of tire in area of these pinhole leaks, weird. Can't recommend it!!!

Review by DaveReviewed 4/12/2020by Davemichigan 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great on the roadA good balance between road and gravel, these tires roll well on asphalt, but a bit noisy. Dont expect long mileage, these tires wear pretty quickly. I run these tubeless with slime. On gravel they ride smooth with fair traction.

Review by GbikerReviewed 2/20/2020by GbikerCycling EnthusiastDC area6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Fast, supple, and secureIve been running the 40 mm with latex tubes inflated at 33 psi front, 35 psi rear on a mix of gravel and pavement (I weigh 160 pounds). They measure 40 mm wide mounted on HED Ardennes Plus rims. Theyre supple and about as fast on pavement as the Challenge Gravel Grinder Race 38s, but have much better grip and balance on loose gravel. They also feel fast on gravel, and are almost as secure on rough and rutted sections as the Panaracer Gravel King 43s running at about the same pressures. Compared to the Gravel Kings, they have a much lighter feel, partly because theyre each about 100 g lighter. I havent yet tested the Terra Speeds on a loose sandy surfaces or significant mud, so cant comment on performance in those conditions. I like the Terras enough that Ive just ordered a third to keep around as a spare.

Review by DuckReviewed 2/5/2020by DuckCycling EnthusiastBerkshires7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Great gravel and dirt road climberHave these on my Boone on an Aeolus Pro 3 TLR wheelset. Mounting was pretty straightforward, I used Orange Endurance sealant. I had a slow leak in my front tire, but after a few rides the leak stopped. Ridden at 50psi, these are great on a well traveled dirt road, an old dirt and gravel road without smooth tracks or on pavement. I rode up a local mountain (in the Berkshires) after a rainstorm, so the dirt turned to mud but I didn't experience wheel slip or get stuck. I got the 35mm version, and thought initially I should have gone with the 40, but these have been fast, grippy, and great.

Review by GritCityHealthReviewed 5/1/2023by GritCityHealthTacoma, WA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Just the right size and gripI mounted these up as a bigger option to run instead of my usual Pathfinder Pros in 38c. These measure 45mm wide on a 25 ird rim. I was quite happy with the feel, responsiveness, and overall confidence they give me without feeling their size or weight at all (not that it�s much different.) I also use them with a tire insert so I can comfortably ride them at 30-33psi. Great tire all around!

Review by Brendan Reviewed 10/3/2022by Brendan Bellingham 2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Some side wall leakage. But otherwise goodI bought these for the low rolling resistance and decent flat protection. The rolling resistance feels good, I have yet to experience any flats and the tread seems to hold well on loose over hard.
The sidewall in one of them has been weeping pretty hard. But that's not uncommon for tires.
