Didn’t see a recent thread for this. Now that my race calendar is out for the year, thinking I may be targeting gravel, mixed-surface races over Road and XC, so considering upgrading my gravel rubber. Currently have the Tufo Thundero 40s but they are a couple years old now and have some holes that …

Lots of gravel tire discussion in this thread…. [image] Is a MTB tire the fastest and best tire for Gravel racing? Equipment Looking at BBR it seems that if you can fit it, the Continental Race King Protection (50cm), is the best tire one can run when looking at the combi…

I like the Terra Speed 40s and they feel fast. Probably 500 miles of gravel and no punctures at all. Not even small ones that sealed (that I know of.)

If you’re willing to consider tires that are mixed, you could go with something a bit faster up front, and better rolling resistance in the back.

Why do you want to swap out the Thunderos? They test well at BRR and it sounds like you got a few years out of them. I just got some in 700x48 and plan to run them this year but the weather has kept me on the trainer :grimacing:

[image] FrankTuna: Why do you want to swap out the Thunderos? They test well at BRR and it sounds like you got a few years out of them. They are still at the top of my list, might check the clearance to see if maybe I could fit some of the 44s (the official clearance is 42 but many exceed the…

I’m thinking of going with the 45 Terra Speed on the front and the 42 S-Works Pathfinder on the rear. The Pathfinder has a better puncture score than the Terra Speed on the BRR website so I think it might be better on the rear. Also, I’ve read the Terra Speed wears out fast as a rear tire.
