Zipp Goodyear XPLR Slick Gravel Tire

No, this tire is specifically engineered for dry, hard-packed gravel and smooth surfaces. Its slick tread pattern lacks the knobs required for traction in mud or loose, chunky terrain.

While these tires are designed as tubeless-ready for optimal performance and puncture resistance, they can be used with inner tubes if preferred. However, you will lose the specific benefits of the tubeless setup, such as the ability to run lower pressures for better grip.

The Dynamic:UHP compound is formulated to lower rolling resistance, which helps you maintain higher speeds with less effort. It balances this efficiency with enough grip to handle corners confidently on dry, fast surfaces.

These tires are optimized for modern, wider rim profiles. Before purchasing, verify that your rims are compatible with a 45mm tire width to ensure the tire seats correctly and maintains its intended shape for stability.

The M:Wall protection adds a layer of defense against cuts and pinch flats without making the tire feel stiff or harsh. It maintains a supple ride quality, allowing the casing to conform to the ground for better control.
