You may finally be able to ride your gravel bike in B or C road rides. The wet weather performance is superb. It's 40mm and that's enough to transition through gravel sections are good speed or ride longer gravel tracks at modest speeds. For riders above 170 pounds, you might have to put out an extra handful of watts on a road ride while being in more comfort.

Real World results: Typical loop was 1 to 1.3 mph faster at the same wattage as my 45mm full gravel tire.

Bought these to pair with Pirrelli smartube TPUs. I just finished a 4 day touring ride. Portland-Pacific city-Waldport-Albany then back to Portland. Can't say how much glass, gravel and debris i ran over and the tires held up well. I did however had 1 flat, ran over 1-1/2' fencing staple which was unfortunate and cannot win against it. Yes, i could have ran with a tubeless set up and used a plug but I didn't want to mess around with messy sealant, pack extra tires on a touring ride. TPUs is so much lighter and very packable.

I'm on my 2nd set of GP 4-Season tires. For many years I used the GP 4000, then their replacement GP 50000. I 've had very good experiences with them. However, my fingers aren't as strong as they used to be and I find them difficult to mount on my DT Swiss wheels, for the rare flat repair or at replacement time. I read that the GP 4-Season tires were easier to mount, so i tried them and found it to be true.

I'm an older recreational rider, typically riding 20-40 miles on mostly chip seal county roads. So, the 4-Seaon tires may be slightly slower and heavier than the 5000 tires, but I don't care. They are very flat resistant, last many miles, and I find them easy to mount. I'm sold

I put this as a rear tire on my bike because I wanted rolling fast tires and to speed up Mr times on less technical trails. It met that goal really well. These don't have the same traction as a more gravity oriented design, but for me the cornering traction is enough where I enjoy the build.

I definitely had to change my cornering speeds, but overall these tires help me ride faster..

I live in Colorado and we have a lot of trails with loose decomposing granite.
