Panaracer GravelKing Tire

Anyone tried these tires?

Just received my 32mm samples. Looking forward to the added traction and cushion.


 

That 32mm tire looks like a nice mid-sized gravel tire.

I use the 28mm wide version as a road tire - smooth and nice rolling on tarmac, but limited grip on gravel/dirt with the minimalist fine file tread surface.




As Chris mentioned the 40mm XPlor MSO makes a nice gravel tire - good grip and cushion.
Light weight too, only ~370g for the folding 120tpi version.  No punctures yet...

I have just switched to 28mm GravelKings for commuting use, replacing the harsh and slow Armadillo Borough tires that came on my factory wheels.  Lovely road feel, and good for a 1.5 mph improvement in speed.  Can't beat the current pricing at ExelSports either.

Like Levity, I am running 40mm X'plor MSO's on my race wheels. These are wonderful gravel tires, but pricey, so why wear them out on paved road commuting?
