honestly, not me, mate who is rejigging a Cannondale Topstone, with 650b Hunts and to get the clearance needs 1.9, fast, tubeless xc/gravel tyres.

Any recommendations ? Not the concept, just the tyres 🙂

The grippiest ones.

WTB Venture. Get the tanwalls they are 30g lighter 😉

Schwalbe G-Ones - I've done 4000 miles on them on my Slate. They are surprisingly fast, but I have almost worn them out, which is not ideal for their cost. Replacements are Panaracer GravelKings as a lot cheaper. Hopefully they will be just as fast if a little less grippy offroad.

There is a Cannondale Slate Facebook group with a lot of tyre talk on it, which would transfer to the Topstone

Depends how fast / slick said friend wants his tyres. I am a fan of WTB byways.
