I needed a gravel tire that would fit a set of rims that did not adhere to the standards. I had tried others that would not fit and the Panaracer Gravel King worked great. The seal on the tire is allot easier as well for tubeless rims.

Good traction, fast on and off road

This has become my Go-To Gravel tire! I have tried other brands with mixed results. 1,000 miles on 1st set - no flats. On second set 300 miles or so - no flats. I ride sharp gravel roads in western NJ

The SK is a solid tire for all gravel conditions. Even as a heavier rider, I am amazed at the miles I get out of this tire on my rear wheel.
Review by DanMcG
I used this tire for three days of bikepacking on a combination of pavement, gravel, single track, and jeep roads. It performed excellently on all the surfaces. I'll be switching back to these tires now that cross season is over and will use them for all my winter riding and through the early spring gravel grinders.

Very nice pattern. It fits my road bike perfectly. I dont have to inflate the tire to remove the wheel. Not teh cheapest tire here, but the quality is second to none

Using 35c on my Trek Domane and it navigates class 3 gravel with ease. Good product.
Review by DaveB
I purchased the 35mm version of these tires to run my CX bike in a 75 mile gravel race. They set up tubeless on my Stans Avion wheels easily, and I was very pleased with how they performed in a variety of conditions from wet, slick grass to chunky, loose gravel. Recommended.

I bought this for gravel rides and lousy pavement but they actually roll really well! Sure they are heavy so they dont accelerate well but once up to speed they roll over everything. 45 psi with the 38c on a wide rim works great!

Used these tires for the Dirty Kanza based on reviews. They did not disappoint. Traversed through some of the most rugged roads America has to offer. These will be my tire of choice for gravel events.

I mainly use my bike as a commuter but I do get out on gravel when I get the chance. These have worked great for me on pavement while still giving me the grip I need to get off road.

I've been using the Gravel King SK on my cyclocross bike for about a year and a half. It's does a great job on gravel. I've raced gravel and cyclocross with it. It's a great overall tire.
The wear on the tire is above average. I rotate front tire to back and replace and have no problem getting 2 seasons out of it.
I run these tubeless. They were easy to setup and I've never had any punctures, even when I roll single track.

I searched high and low to find a tire that I could use on my older model Specialized Roubaix for gravel road racing. Most of the gravel tires are too wide to fit in this bikes more
Traditional road bike geometry.
The ultegra road brakes in particular wont fit a tire wider than 26
Voila- Panaracer to the rescue- these tires fit in the frame and under the brakes. They are tough and offer excellent grip on dirt roads and through the corners. Lighter than a CX tire and roll faster when you hit the pavement too!
I love these tires- good work Panaracer!!
Review by Doug
Excellent traction and comfort on gravel and dirt, but also works surprisingly well on pavement.

Great that these well-liked gravel tires come in the odd 26mm size. Fit my Cervelo R3 just fine when no 28 would work!
Review by Fastboy
I searched high & low for a pair of knobby tires that I could mount on my Specialized Roubaix with Ultegra brakes- nobody had anything that fit
Until these
A shout out for bike tires direct- Ive bought many tires etc from them in the past, and this is the second time Ive called them for advice -
The fellow helping me went and looked at them and confirmed later they would fit my bike - this is excellent service!
Riding them on gravel is fantastic-they offer almost CX like traction and they roll fine on paved
Highly recommended

I use these tires on my hybrid bike, riding mostly on trails where surfaces can be gravel or paved. I love the versatility.
