Schwalbe Hurricane
Best versatile tire for cyclists riding on both pavement and gravel.
This is the ultimate commuter hybrid for riders who refuse to choose between pavement speed and dirt-road capability. The smooth center strip flies on asphalt, while the aggressive side knobs bite when the path gets loose. You sacrifice the pure speed of a road slick, but you gain the freedom to explore any route without hesitation.
