WTB Byway Tire

While the Byway features a smooth center line that rolls efficiently on pavement, it is specifically designed as a gravel tire. If you ride exclusively on smooth asphalt, you might find a dedicated road tire faster, but it is an excellent choice if your rides frequently transition between road and gravel.

TCS stands for Tubeless Compatible System. This means the tire is designed to be run without an inner tube when paired with a compatible tubeless rim, sealant, and valve, allowing you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and puncture protection.

SG2 is a lightweight nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead puncture protection without significantly adding weight. It keeps the tire supple and responsive, so you get the added durability needed for rough gravel without the stiff, dead feel often associated with heavy-duty casings.

Yes, this is a tubeless-ready clincher, meaning it is fully compatible with standard inner tubes if you prefer not to set it up tubeless. Just be sure to use a tube sized for 650b x 47mm tires.

The Byway is built for mixed-terrain versatility. The smooth center strip keeps you moving quickly on hardpack and pavement, while the textured side knobs engage when you corner on loose dirt or gravel, giving you confidence on unpredictable surfaces.
