Going into winter, finding a fast road tyre that will also cope well in any mud you encounter is near on impossible.
G1 Speeds are great in the dry, but they wear quickly on tarmac and suck in the wet, even on tarmac when they’ve worn a bit. Using the 29×2.35″ on my fatbike was fun and fast in the summer, but I always swapped them out around this time of year.
My Marasa came with 40mm Vee Speedsters, but having had a 2.3″ variant on the fatbike, that honeycomb tread is a liability once you are riding on routes littered with small debris. They get wedged into the voids and if it’s something sharp, guess what happens!
I’m currently back on my 38mm Marathon Cross pair on the Marasa for commuting, they have a bit of extra puncture protection and are a bit weighty at ~560g each, but at ~55/70 PSI (f/r) they can do a bit of everything. Run them with higher pressure for smooth road, or a bit lower for more offroad grip and cushioning.
I’d like to try something like the newish https://www.merlincycles.com/panaracer-gravel-king-ext-tlc-folding-tyre-700c-199134.html or https://www.merlincycles.com/panaracer-gravel-king-ac-tlc-folding-tyre-700c-199121.html up front and either a https://www.merlincycles.com/panaracer-gravel-king-tlc-folding-tyre-700c-2019-142692.html or https://www.merlincycles.com/panaracer-gravel-king-sk-tlc-folding-tyre-700c-90671.html on the rear.
