Rene Herse Juniper Ridge Tire
Best knobby gravel tire for mixed-terrain adventurers seeking speed and grip.
These tires strike a rare balance, offering enough aggressive tread to bite into loose, technical trails without feeling sluggish on pavement. You sacrifice the pure, slick speed of a dedicated road tire, but you gain the confidence to tackle mixed-terrain rides without ever needing to swap your rubber.
