Specialized Pathfinder Pro
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 29x47
Put the Pathfinder Pros in 47 on my Stigmata for The WYO 131 gravel race. This route is 131 miles long with 10K of climbing. A probably 20 miles of pavement and a combination of smooth fast gravel and some chunky hard climbs. These tires seemed fast and surprisingly stable in the softer stuff. I liked the smooth strip for the pavement but the side lugs gave great holding power in gravel corners. 47 width gave a smooth ride. I am sticking with these tires.

Good for both pavement and gravel

- Size Bought:
- 700 x 42
Versatile, rugged tire good for both pavement and gravel. They wear well and appear to have good puncture resistance. I had them in 700 x 38 and upgraded to 700 x 42 to handle some more rugged terrain. They did great on both packed and loose gravel.

Favorite Gravel/Groad Tires!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 700x42
I have tried many gravel / mixed surface tires over the years, from Panaracer to Maxxis and WTB. These are by FAR my favorite. The sidewalls seem less prone to cuts that other tires, the roll fast on the road, and they have just enough tread in unpaved roads. That includes hard pack gravel, loose gravel, sand, and dirt. I have 1,200 miles on my current 38s and just bought 42s for when the 38s are done.

500m through MI in 1 wk - No flats
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I used these (size 38 on 700s) on a bike packing trip this past week through Michigan. 90% road, 10% gravel and single track. These tires worked extremely well. Zero flats even using various pressures on my 65-70lb loaded bike. Unnoticeable resistance on pavement. I kept up with others on urban tires without any issue. When we hit sand or small gravel patches, you could feel the tire slide slightly to the left or right before grabbing and keeping you upright, doing exactly what you would expect from this style tire. I highly recommend these. If you are bike packing, I recommend going with the high viz models that they offer. That’s the only change I’d make. I will be using these for BWR gravel race this October.

6500 miles and not one flat
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 38x700
- Height:

I ride primarily road with my Specialized Creo SL pedalec. The tire (38x700) is fast on the road and, because the streets in my neck of the woods are noted for their holes, cracks and rough roads, they are perfect for comfort, safety and speed. Taking turns fast is not an issue at all. I ride them tubeless with sealant. When I first got my Creo SL I ordered road tires (28x700) but, by the time I received them, I decided these tires are what I prefer for my riding conditions. I just replaced the rear tire after 6500 miles with my front tire still showing the Specialized "S" being visible, so there's plenty of miles left in them. I highly recommend these tires if you mostly ride road.

Solid Performance

Put these on my gravel bike (700x38) for the BWR San Diego- lots of sand. Plenty of others flatted, had tears, these were great. In fact, no flats at all, ran with tubes at ~50-55 psi. Road was good as well, roll resistance was pretty low.

Fast Rolling Gravel Tire
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 700c x 42 mm
This is a great tire if you are mixing 50% road/50% light gravel. I rode them on through ride of the Great Allegheny Passage which is mostly compressed limestone. Great tire. I went up to the 42mm from the 38mm and it provides a bit more traction and a smoother ride. They do slip when things get wet though.
