Review by JinscoeReviewed 8/18/2023by JinscoeCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORGreat Rolling TireI've been using this tire for several years, now. They are a fairly fast rolling tire (I ride 32mm) that handles pavement really well, in dry and wet conditions, and is just as solid in dirt and/or hard-packed gravel. They can be stubborn to mount but if you have a KoolStop Tire Bead Jack (I got mine here at Bike Tires Direct) it makes it so easy. My only complaint is the rear tire, like most rear tires, wears fairly quickly. That being said, I've had the same front tire for almost two years and it still looks brand new. These are my go-to tire.

Review by TonyMReviewed 3/16/2023by TonyMCycling EnthusiastWestern Slope of Colorado1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Impossible to mountMaybe it was a bad batch of tires (and maybe thats why they were on sale), but there was now way these were fitting on a rim meant for this east type of tire. After trying for maybe 2 hours, I gave up and tail between legs, took them to my LBS. The owner of the shop gave up as well.

Review by TiBikerReviewed 3/7/2022by TiBikerCycling EnthusiastN.E. Pennsylvania1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.So far so goodGot these in a 700 -32. I was looking for a tire for my new gravel bike that would be close to a road tire but still be good on hard packed dirt or gravel. They are faster on pavement than I expected but still provide good traction on loose dirt and gravel This tire seems to suite the bill very well. Only problem is that they seem hard to find for purchase now. I'd like to get a spare pair.

Review by JeburdetteReviewed 8/3/2020by JeburdetteCycling EnthusiastRio Rancho, NMGreat tire for a gravel bike that also sees paved surfacesI have used Donnelly Tires on my road bike (an endurance bike using size 32s) for about two years and have loved the versatility the tire offers for both road riding and even hard packed surfaces. When it came time to replace the tires on my gravel bike I switched to Donnelly (using size 40) and could not be happier. I typically ride my bike from my home to the dirt trails so I appreciate the smooth surface offered but also appreciate the ruggedness of the tire and tread for gravel riding.
