What road tires for my gravel bike?

Not sure what your budget would be but check out these links:

More ‘training tires’ (More durable, less speed)

‘Racing Tires’ (Less Durable, More Speed)

I’m not familiar with all of them but I run the Pirelli Pzero Race TLRs for road racing and they’ve been good. Durable enough for road and fast. GP5000 S TRs are fast but they (and their more durable sibling the AS TR) were wayyy too tight on my rims so I don’t run them. I also used to run the Enve SES tires in the past and liked them and they’re a bit cheaper than the rest. (Those all top out at 35 except for Pzero Race).

The bigger tires on that site were the Pzero Race (40) and the Challenge Strada Biancha (36 and 40 though I think this is kinda closer to an ‘all road’ or gravel slick than an out and out road tire). No idea how the Pirelli’s scale to the bigger size but I like the 28s and 30s.
