WTB Venture TCS Road Tire

It is a true mixed-surface tire. While it excels on gravel and dirt, the centerline ridges provide enough efficiency to keep you rolling smoothly on paved sections between trails.

The SG2 layer is designed to be lightweight and flexible, so it provides robust protection for both the tread and sidewalls without making the tire feel stiff or harsh on the road.

While these are optimized for tubeless setups, they are compatible with inner tubes. However, running them tubeless is recommended to fully utilize the tire's performance and puncture-resistance features.

The Dual DNA compound uses a firmer rubber on the centerline for speed and durability, with softer rubber on the side knobs for better cornering grip. This makes it versatile enough to handle everything from hardpack fire roads to loose, dusty trails.

This is a high-volume tire, so you should check your frame and fork clearance first. Most standard road bikes cannot accommodate a 50mm width; it is designed primarily for gravel or adventure bikes with generous tire clearance.
