I’ve read some reports online that claim the Panaracer Gravel King SK rolls at least as well as the Schwalbe G-One Speed, but in addition it wears less quickly.
Worth noting the Panaracer sizes up large, the 32c comes in at ~35mm and the 38c comes in at ~43mm.
For something cheaper than the above, I’ve been very happy with my 38c Marathon Cross, currently £20 at PX. They are great all-rounders with excellent road performance when inflated to ~60/75PSI. I did get my first puncture in ~10 years recently on these, but it was really bad luck, a ~2cm screw managed to drill into the rear tyre between two of the large central “shields.” Might be considered a bit heavy by some at ~560g, shame they only do a wired bead version, but for half the price (or less) of G-Ones and Gravel King SKs.
I picked up a stonking Ebay bargain over the weekend that arrived today, a pair of brand new G-One Speed 29×2.35 Evo TLEs for £50, it almost seemed too good to be true for a chance look on the bay! 😯 8)
… Time to grab the FatNotFat wheels off the Wazoo and fit these bad boys and pop the Marathon Cross in the spares box for now, before the missus gets home! 😆
