Panaracer GravelKing SS
Best versatile choice for riders transitioning between pavement and dry gravel.
This is the ideal choice for riders who spend as much time on pavement as they do on dirt. The semi-slick center tread flies on hard surfaces, though you’ll sacrifice some bite in deep, loose mud. It strikes a rare balance between pure speed and the rugged durability needed for mixed-terrain adventures.
