[Closed] Tubeless gravel tyres, what's what?

I’ve gone for Vitoria Terrenos, not fitted yet, but I think they would fit your criteria.

Will report back once fitted and ridden!

....and is really good in mud.

Panaracer gravel kings have been a good all rounder for me, and pretty cheap.

I have found the Panaracer Gravel King SK unreliable tubeless which is annoying as the standard GK were brilliant but not quite aggressive enough.

Gravel King sk but mine aren't tubeless

Lots of people rave about nano raptors, they do look great and are more likely to work in winter slop

WTB Raddler, in the newer G2 guise. Previous non G2 (different casing) was a bastard to get tubeless, but the newer one is a dream. Tyre runs fast, can run low pressures and pretty grippy on most surfaces, even does ok in the mud (relatively speaking!)

Gravel Kings for me were fast, light, good in the dry, looked good, but unfortunately attracted sidewall cuts like nothing else I've ever experienced. 🙁

Wtb resolutes are the best all rounder I've found, tubeless easy set up and seem to last well. They are a decent 42mm which is perfect for riding off road but still roll well if you have to ride tarmac, that is if you have adequate clearance.

Another vote for the Raddlers. Good alrounder so far for me. Not bad on the road and deceptively good offroad. In 44mm guise that is anyway.

I’ve got Maxxis Ramblers 700 x 40c on my Whyte Friston. They set up tubeless pretty easily.
They will cope with most types of trail and not bad rolling on the road but they are primarily a trail/gravel tyre. It should have come with 45C tyres and I think I would have preferred them at a bigger volume.

Conti Terra Speed 40mm? Roll well, light and set up tubeless easily. I’ve had no punctures in mine despite some rocky terrain. Not great in mud due to the shallow tread - Terra Trail has deeper tread if this is important.

Another vote for the WTB Raddlers. I have them in 40 on my Enve wheel set and they have been pretty good in all conditions ( rocks, loam , ice and light mud). The lack of center knobs mean they don’t dig in that well in deep mud . They hold air pressure well too.

Bugger! I’ve just missed 3 nearly new Riddlers on FB marketplace. £50 posted.

My luck in a nutshell. 🥺

Erm, sounds like you did get lucky Riddler =/= Raddler

I’ve got 45mm riddlers on my atlas. Went up really easy tubeless and haven’t touched them since. Nearly 400km in now and haven’t even had to top them up with air. Roll well, grippy enough, it’s not a mtb…

I would have recommended a Vittoria Terreno Dry or Vittoria Terreno Mix depending on the terrain, but honestly not sure if they are light or inexpensive by gravel standards or not.

What the Terrenos are though is fast, robust, surprisingly capable for a semi slick (the Terreno Dry) and repeatedly and consistently easy to install tubeless. The only reason I might change is for the lighter tan wall versions, but am afraid I couldn't treat them quite as recklessly in rocky terrain.

Didn't get on with WTBs, light, pretty and a great range of tread patterns but a pain in the hole to get mounted on a variety of rims, even with tubes. Don't know if WTB have improved this or not but sadly not worth the grief from my experience.

I'm 600 miles into a pair of 35c <span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Panaracer </span><span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">GravelKing SK TLC </span>

They were a pain to set up tubeless, although they went on new wheels and were fine once I used tessla tape instead of gorilla tape.

One puncture that sealed with spinning the wheel and letting the sealant donuts thing.

I was out this weekend in the slop. They were terrible. A mate stopped in front of me to take a sharp turn I hadn't spotted and I came within inches of clattering into him.

They have been surprising good in the dry and the damp.
