Exposure TCS Tire

While the Exposure TCS is optimized for a tubeless setup to take advantage of lower pressures and flat protection, it is fully compatible with standard inner tubes if you prefer that method.

The 30mm width is best suited for pavement and light, well-packed gravel. If your rides frequently involve loose, chunky, or technical gravel, you may want to look for a wider tire with more aggressive tread.

The Distance+ compound is engineered for durability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for high-mileage road riding. While it prioritizes wear resistance, it remains supple enough to provide a smooth, comfortable ride on varied surfaces.

It is an excellent choice for gravel races that are fast and feature mostly hard-packed dirt or tarmac. However, for races with significant mud or loose, rocky sections, you might find the tread pattern lacks the necessary bite.

The folding bead is designed to be flexible and lightweight, which generally makes installation easier than rigid wire-bead tires. As with most tubeless-ready tires, a proper tubeless rim tape and sealant application are key to a smooth setup.
