TufoGravel Thundero Tire(Return to Product Page)

These are great tires for both pavement and gravel. Good trip with little rolling resistance on hard surfaces.

For me, the Thundero has been the perfect compromise between speed, grip, and cushion. It rolls well on pavement and absolutely shreds on trail.

Took a gamble on a brand I had never heard of and I'm very pleased with the tires. They replaced a set of 40mm Terra Speed tires and I'm impressed with the performance. The Terra Speed may be a tad faster, but barely so. I appreciate the wider tire, more than adequate grip for dirt roads in New England. 2 Months in and they seem to be pretty durable too. Will almost certainly be buying these again!

Each time I ride a new surface, I find myself surprised again at just how well they perform. They're confidence inspiring and feel and look well-built.

These tires rode well in Hico and Chappell Hill. Mostly hard pack gravel with some loose spots on the hills. The tire held well while climbing and rolled fast on the asphalt. They are quite a bit lighter than a couple brands I used before. Easy to set up on tubeless and I installed Vittoria Tire Liners as well. I have about 150 miles on them now and they still look new out of the box.

I am a gravel racer from the mountains of North Carolina. They roll really well on pavement and I have strong confidence in them on the descents. Highly recommend

This was a replacement pair of tires for an unfortunate mishap that cut my first pair. I quickly reordered the same 45's. Fast tire in all conditions. Great grip in the corners and switchbacks. Surprising grip in loose over packed (don't get stupid, though, it's still loose!). A very compliant ride which lends itself to speed under rough conditions. I'm 6'2", 196 lbs, and an aggressive descender riding mostly Cat 3 forest service roads.

this and the Speedero are simply the best mixed-terrain tyres I have ever run. They go great with my Princeton Grits. I run a 40 in the front and a 36 in the back

Very Good tires, rotated F & R every 300'ish miles, these, like all rubber tires harden as they age and slightly shrunk. Rear died after running over a metal strap/band on fire service road, gashed edge of tread and sidewall up to rim, not fixable. Got my money out of these, may get the new Tufo Thundero HD? Best pressure i found was 30 psi up to 38psi, for SE USA clay, gravel, dirt roads, worked in all conditions, dry & wet year round. Better on pavement at 40psi-55psi. (for avg. guy 6ft and 200lbs)

I am riding the 40mm tires on a mix of paved and gravel surfaces. They don't have the grip of a more open tread design but roll a lot faster on pavement and gravel. I have put about 500 miles on the tires and they appear to be showing no signs of cuts or tread wear.

Like the grip at 45+ psi and also down at 32-26psi in rough gravel/dirt roads, these tires have loads of grip and ahve a smooth round profile. After two sets of specialized's '2bliss pathfinder pro' gravel tires, these Tufo's not only weight 150gms. less per tire but, they're more compliant in ride feel and grip predictably without sliding.
