SchwalbeG-One Overland TLR 700c Gravel Tire(Return to Product Page)

My gravel bike came with 38mm tires, slick in the middle. Good for the road, commuting and light gravel, but I was nervous about using them on a long gravel ride which I do a couple of times a year. The big ride was coming up so I upgraded to the 45mm and mounted them tubeless. The middle is not slick but rolls well on pavement, which is what all my training was on. I just completed the 60-mile Loudon Gravel Grinder. Most of the roads are in pretty good shape but there are some pretty steep down and up hills. I felt confident going fast on the down hills - good control. They climbed well on the uphills. Slight slippage on super steep uphill when standing, but I also had the tires moderately firm to minimize overall ride rolling resistance.

So the description is accurate "Designed for 50% road, 50% off-road use" if you are looking for an all around tire.

I purchased these to replace some MSO tires that i was having trouble finding. So far ive put 200+ miles on them. About 50% has been on pavement. Also a bikepacking adventure is about 100 miles of that. They have done great on the gravel and im very happy with them. On the pavement the rear seems to have worn a bit more than the MSO wear in similar conditions. Perhaps it was my rear bags adding to that tread ware.

Overall a good value for the money and i would purchase them again

These tires have done well on pavement, hard pack, and fine/coarse gravel. They are fast and have good grip. They hold air well
