VittoriaMezcal III G2.0 Gravel Endurance Tire(Return to Product Page)

I bought these Mezcals in a 44 width. I set them up tubeless on i25 WTB rims. They roll really fast on gravel and pavement and have put up with extensive VT class 4 �road� abuse on a loaded bike. Even after indiscriminately bashing them through miles of chunky baby heads, roots, and slate, they are holding air great with no flats or need for plugs. I�m impressed! They get a bit slick when totally caked in mud and picking through off camber wet roots , but I can�t fault them for that. For a �dry� tire they have been champion all-arounders. I may try them in 2.1�s next just for fun, but will definitely buy these again.

The tire *could* be fantastic. Great tread, fast rolling and just enough traction for light-duty gravel and single track. The tire measures 35mm so it's dead-on there, but it's a low volume 35mm. Compared to the Donnelly MXP, which is typically my go-to tire for mixed terrain and CX races, this tire looks anemic. The MXP is just a larger volume tire without much additional width (maybe 1-2mm). That extra volume is pretty important to me since I'll often jump on some rocky single track for CX training (or just because it's fun). I won't try that with these tires.

I found myself riding more gravel than pavement on my new touring bike, so I swapped the slicks it came with for these. These are grippy in light to moderate gravel, and don't squirm on pavement, and roll smooth and fast. For rough terrain, I run 650b x 47 knobbies, but for all else, I use these. Not too expensive, either. No complaints.

Great traction and rolling. I can out-coast road bikes. Very pleased

good quality gravel tire, good in all condtions from wet and dry.good on single track and gravel roads.
