Cannondale Topstone tire options

[walter]

Im looking for a more road friendly tire for my Topstone but dont want a super huge balloon tire. Here is the wheel specs, i assume 23 is inside diameter? How low width wise can i go? 30s? 32s?

How low can i go?

Low psi or width?

Low psi or width?

Sorry, width. Ill edit. Thanks.

I've ran 28's on 29er wheels that were around ~22mm inner. I don't foresee any issues with a 30/32 since that's on the wider end for road. The only thing I would look at is whether there is a max psi rating on the rim. Mine at the time were not designed for road pressures, but never had a problem. a 30/32 won't need 100psi anyway.

I have 30's on a SuperSix. They aren't balloons at all

These are "more road friendly". I run the 38's.

Good enough for road, gravel, and hard pack dirt.

Sick tire for sure!!

I’d add gravel kings, cannonballs and oracle ridges to that!

All great options. The oracles are just another level

I like these. How fragile are the extralites compared to the standard and endurance?
