I went through a similar exercise looking for tires to fit under SKS P65
fenders on my Rivendell Hunqapillar. I ended up with Maxxis Torch 29x2.1's
but they didn't offer me enough fender clearance. They felt like a high
quality tire though from my initial rides around the city to test
clearance
That may go a good way towards explaining the $43 price differential
between the Overland at $88 and the Hurricane at $45

I'm partial to panaracer gravelkings, though I haven't used them in that
size before:

I use and like the Schwalbe Marathon Almotion in 55mm. They also make it in

(V-Guard) and the other as tubeless (RaceGuard). The V-Guard version is
almost 200g lighter.

I’m partial to the Schwabe Hurricanes. Mine are wider at 2.4 inches. They

I should add that these Hurricanes are mounted on my tandem and endure lots

The light/fast TCS version, which I am assuming is the high TPI folding
version you are describing. They worked well in the loose and dry
conditions, though, so not all bad :)

Adam,
Looking through the WTB website, it looks like the 700c version is more
cross/gravel oriented, while the 27.5/650b version is more MTB'y. This may
be the source of different feel/rolling experiences. I'm guessing the 700c
is built with a thinner sidewall with less tread that results in a

Ah that would make sense. I have never tried the wider version, so this is
very likely. I'll bet schwalbe is the next good place to look for this
request, Furious Fred, perhaps.

My Go-to tire is the WTB Horizons, but they are almost totally smooth; the
Byways are similar, but have a little more tread. Still these are only about 2"
wide. I recently mounted the Simworks Homage tires on my VO Polvalent even

Maxxis ReFuse 650bx50 is a big file tread and seems to be liked by a lot of
people. It's not too fragile but doesn't feel slow. It also is easy to deal
with for tubeless.
I am running 38mm Compass Barlow Pass EL (no fenders). 38mm Little Big Bens
would also be an option. The Barlow Pass tires clear Tektro R559 Sidepulls
when the QR is closed. Using centerpulls would allow something even larger.
Lots of clearance on the rear - on the front it is the brake that lim

In later versions, some of the larger sizes took 700c, but mine sports
26-inch wheels.

I'll second Patrick's recommendation of the Rene Herse/Compass Naches Pass
tires, if you have a 559 All-Rounder.
I've been using these exclusively for my 559 Atlantis since the tire's
introduction, and have nothing but good experiences – they're fast, but not
fragile, and are quite durable to b
If the Rat Trap Passes will fit, there is really nothing else like them. I run
mine at 25psi whether paved, unpaved, loaded, or unloaded (Max rider + gear
weight = 200lbs), and rarely get flats despite soldering on with tubes.
Off-road, 20psi does feel nicer, but has subjected me to pinch flats
When I saw this post I was excited to come in and share that the Panaracer
Gravel King SK is being made in 26" now, but based on your use and desire
for a quicker-rolling tire, have to agree with everyone else on the RH
tires. I think the Naches Pass are the way to go if you have

+1 for RTP's! I've been commuting on the black walled EL version since
last October (with a bit of sealant in my tubes) and have had no problems
whatsoever with flats. I like 23 psi front/25 psi back. Every day that I
ride them I experience a renewed sense of appreciation. They're so smooth

Not sure the Ultradynamico is fast rolling on pavement. The knobs are so
widely spaced that the tire is bumping from one knob to the next and the
casing seems stiffer than the RH tires mentioned above. I did a review of
them on the 650B list a while ago:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/
The Cava's 'knobs' are flush with the casing, which were the ones I was
referring to - the Rosé is as you describe but I agree they won't be as
fast. I have them on my Sam and find them reasonably quick but certainly
slower than the Babyshoes!

Craig,
Thank you for sharing your experience. What pressure did you run them at? I
find that on my Firefly, at 20 psi, the Rat Traps float over gravel like
nothing else, but are almost unrideable on pavement. 25 psi is a good
compromise for rough mixed-surface rides, but they're still no fun on
Yes; it was an improvement of the XO-1, in fact.
