Best all round tyre

John782

Hi
I do mainly knocking about on tarmac cycle paths but occasionaly go through forests on gravel tracks what Americans call fire roads I believe .

I have a Trek fx3 with 700c 32 on it and it's perfect has a little tread roles over tarmac almost like a road bike but will cope with the grit.

I have just got hold of a giant roam 2 as secondary bike ( because it was very good deal) but it has 700c 40 on it and very knobly proper cross trail of road tyres

I want to change these to something more all round still some tread and puncture proof but tarmac friendly .

After suggestions,thanks in advance
John

You can read here about gravel bikes https://www.bikethesites.com/gravel-bikes-under-2000/ I use the Schwinn Sporterra Adventure for a few months. Pretty happy with it.
If you mainly cycle on roads then watch this Youtube video. Just to understand whether you really need a gravel bike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MniUO25efoM .

Yup. The best tyres are round. All round.

Ha!

Sophia asking for which tyres to put on a giant Roam not buying a gravel bike?

Hasn't the Roam just got Giant Crosscut tyres on it?
If so, they are fine for the road. Just up the pressure a bit and away you go.
