I'd like to throw in a vote for the Bruce Gordon rock 'n road tires, 700x 43. I have those on my Sam, under fenders, and they're great. I like the way they corner better than the UD Rosé's squishy triangle knobs. On Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 7:37:39 AM UTC-7 josh.yo...@gmail.com wrote: >

I have the LBB 700x38s on a Sam-ish bike and they do just fine for mixed / gravel use. They are heavy, but can be run at low pressure for a dampened ride. They are true to size and bigger than the undersized 700x38 GravelKing slicks I have on another bike. My Platypus has 700x50 GravelKing

Maybe I’ll be alone in this, but… Just ride it! For the type of riding on a Chev, microknobs/file tread doesn’t help much. If you run bigger knobbies, it may actually be dangerous with the tire clearance maxed out. Any stone picked up by the tread could jam against the fork or chain/seat stays.
