Which tires are you running in 2026?

I did..... Won't be in for about 6 weeks. Only hint for now is that it has plenty of tire clearance 😜

I need instant gratification. This would be extremely tough for me lol

This is how I feel about those new wheels I'm gonna get once I finish my deck

I was pretty happy with Race Kings on my Gravelduro Trailcountry bike at Unbound.

I run the Schwalbe G-One RS Pros in 40 during the spring summer, they're insanely fast and more durable than you'd expect. The file tread is more than enough for Bedminster and the like.

I've been running the RX Pro for rougher stuff. They're faster than I thought, and obviously the tread is more helpful than that of the RS. I've been toying with the idea of going to 45s, but I've ready marginal gains are the general consensus. True or False?

Another vote for the Schwalbe G-One RS Pro as an all-around tire. I'm running 45's. I have a set of Schwalbe Bite & Ultrabite 650b x 2.0 that I run for the chunkier stuff. More rolling resistance for sure but they're super plush and the grip is amazing. They quickly became my favorites.

45 mm cinturato. They work well on gravel and sand. A little slower on the road. The biggest thing weak sidewalls cut one on third and replaced it. Only have 500 miles now. Will definitely get a different tire next time.

The new Tracers are spectacular across so many different surfaces. If I was a peasant and only had 1 wheelset, that’s what I’d run. Run the biggest tire you can, width has zero impact on speed.

Maxxis Rekon 2.4 is a solid choice for the rear if you're riding a lot of the rocky trails in North Jersey. It provides enough bite for the climbs while staying relatively light for the transitions. To deal with the decision between the different casing options, I looked at the puncture resistance scores on Bike Tyres XYZ before I placed my order. The 3C MaxxTerra compound seems to be the best middle ground for grip and longevity.

the 4 sets of rekons in my basement with gaping holes in the sidewalls would like a word.
