Looking for some good gravel tires that can be ran tubeless and not too knobbly for road use.

Currently using non UST Schwalbe G ones setup tubeless, love their speed and decent grip off road, but the sidewalls are paper thin, would love to get the UST version but I’d have to re-mortgage.

Anything similar in 700c 30-35mm that can be ran tubeless?

i have the aforementioned GK SKs and the Adventure trails. The latter are fairly tough rough / off road touring tyres and are pretty heavy and have a low you so don't roll so good. The former are light and roll well, are just as grippy BUT do cut easily

When you say UST version, do you mean the Evo compound? I don't think Schwalbe do an explicitly UST version of these tyres, but certainly they do ones with higher-spec and better compounds (i.e. the Evolution range)

https://www.schwalbe.com/en-GB/offroad-reader/schwalbe-g-one-allround.html

Personally, I use the Evo compound 35c ones, which you can get from Rose Bikes for £70/pr shipped, or a little over £60 if you've never used them before and sign up for the newsletter to get an extra 10€ off. Delivery is typically 3 days to the UK too - CRC take that long to put it in the post 🙂

(I've had a couple of sets of these and they've served me well. A pair of them won last year's three peaks CX, which is about as rough an event as you'd ever want to take a gravel bike on!)

Another vote for the G-One. You have to be careful ordering them cos there's loads of different versions. Raceline, Evolution line, and then the tread: Speed, All-round and Bite. And the width.

My LBS ordered a replacement tyre for me after I wrecked one of them and got most aspects of the order wrong! I ended up buying one from a German website.

They've been faultless on my CX (tubeless) and got me round the Three Peaks a couple of times.

I currently have (I think) the folding All Round version of the G ones. As I said I have gotten them to seal fairly easily, but they are just so thin, anyone with experience reccomend a better compound of this tyre?
