Any other tyres anyone is aware of that I can search to purchase?
Was hoping to get a pair of Cazadero's from VeloVitality but can't get hold of anyone there.
Skinwall/Gumwall only, ideally 38c-50c width, mild gnar tread.
Thank you kindly.

@Captain Flasheart the gravel king sk come in a 40c but blackwall only and I'm vain.
@wzzzz the Steilacoon are probably too gnar for the road use too. Shame.

Hmm. That pic was from a 2017 preview. Worth a call to Zyro maybe.....

I've been using some of the Cazaderos on my Kite for a while now and they are excellent. Really amazingly good tyre off-road for the level of knobliness. Remind me a lot of a great mixed terrain tyre I liked years ago - the WTB Allterrainasaurus.

I scored mine lightly used through the eBay global shipping programme.

Try ringing UK Soma dealers, e.g.

https://cycleworx.co.uk/collections/soma
http://www.sbccycles.com
http://www.brixtoncycles.co.uk

Theres a few EU dealers listed on the website too.

Specialised Sawtooth will fit the bill. Tubeless & fast rolling.

Just zombie threading this as I have pictures and stuff.
As a trip to Canada was already booked I bought some Rock n Roads direct from Bruce Gordon and had them posted to my friends in Canada.
They went up tubeless and I used them on my Ridgeway trip.
Cue shot in use

and a measurement shot on DTSwiss XM412 25mm internal width rims

I'd also pre-ordered a pair of the Gravelking SK 700x40c gumwall from Winstanleys and despite a slight delay from the manufacturer they arrived last Friday so I fitted them for the current conditions.
Again on the DTSwiss XMs

Had a blast through the local bridleways on them and really impressed.
