Gravel Tire Recommendations

Me too. I have my Gravel-/Allroadbike setup with 44mm snoqualmie pass tires in the extra lite flavour. I read the extensive thread over on weight weenies and someone posted a spreadsheet with tested rolling resistance. The RH Snoqualmie Pass tires EL roll almost as fast as Conti 4000 25mm tires, which suited my intended use of the bike. I weigh 88kg (194 freedum units) and ride them at around 2.8 bar (40psi) 50:50 road and hardpack gravel. No loamy or muddy stuff so the slicks work for me. They are bang on 44mm on a 25id rim. The RH tires are expensive but in my limited experience worth it. I can’t speak for their knobby tires but if you want to go fast and comfortable over rough roads or hardpack gravel I’d strongly consider the RH EL tires or a stronger casing if you ride chunkier gravel as well.
