Man, the work and the time you put in this video just to changing the tyres is amazing!!!

Matt much appreciated on the effort of these rolling test!!!! Cheers !!!!

Appreciate the hardwork on making the video man

Great test. Maybe you could also summarize results on screen in text. Thanks for this.

Great comparison and a lot of hard work in that! Thanks! I'll be making second wheelset with Nanos but 27,5 for sandy and muddy forest roads

Thank you so much for doing this test! I bought some ventures and was second guessing myself because I ride ~75% road ~25% gravel and singletrack (smooth), and was thnking the ventures would be too slow for the majority of my riding. I'll keep the ventures. There doesn't seem to be much difference amongst the three. Thanks again!

They do "feel" different, but I think that was what made this so interesting is in reality the difference was very little. In terms of grip off-road on drier tracks, the Venture wins hands down.

I reckon with that tread venture wpuld be pretty awesome in snow

@@syedzgaming I rode the Ventures all winter long in Canada and can confirm they're awesome in the snow. I find them really slow on the road so I'm keen to try out some Byways.

@@Scottcharliemurphey good to know, yup their tread is like michelin x ice x i 3 car snow tires lol. I just got them from amazon, will have to wait for next season.

Glad I watched this. I've been riding Byways but I don't think they're quite right for all the gravel I'm riding now so I switched to Ventures. I wanted something that wouldn't drag too much on pavement.

I prefer Ventures. Great all round tire for someone who rides varied terrain. Good price too just picked up a pair for $40.00 a piece.

I have been using 650bX47 Byways for more than 2 years now for the summer periods. My absolute favorite tire. However on my secondary wheelset (that I am using between fall to spring) I am still looking for the tire which will be the best. I have tried on the 700c wheels WTB's Resolute, Nano, Panaracer's GK SK, Schwalbe G-One all-round, Mitas X-road.... So far the Nano was the best for me the wet season.

Great video, I’m looking at this same tires. So which one you think is the fastest of all three ? For hard packed gravel ?

@MattPage

I'd say the Nano is the best all-rounder. Venture grip is incredible on dry trails and maybe Byway very slightly faster but less rounded than the Nano.

I ride the tan byway 700x40 and love the low weight and the fact they last super long time ....

Ive been eyeing up those JRA Mahi Mahi wheels that and/or a set of stayers, Are they what you personally own or are they in for review. Would love to know your summery of thoughts on them? Look pretty natty Im not really a fan of WTB find them all pretty draggy IMO, much prefer Rene Herse. Interesting resaults thought

These are personal. I also have a set of Mahi Mahi 30 rims, so you could say I'm a fan.

Just a question, if I may? What kind of bike it is in the video...? Thanks, TB

Can't pick one between byway 27.5x47 and 700cx40/44. Any thoughts?

Can't comment sorry as I've not used the 27.5 version.

Thanks for doing this. When you report your results would you give a percentage difference of the furthest over the shortest? Great vid 👍🏻👍🏻

@MattPage

It wouldn't really suit a % calculation. Firstly as it would mean taking a measuring wheel, but mostly as it is completely dependant on the area you choose.

Were all results presented in order shortest distance to farthest? I've watch the results a couple of times now, and still can't really tell. :) Probably super obvious to you as you know which way you rode.

So if it helps, the first ones called out are the ones travelling the shortest. So road, that is the Ventures (just).

For off road 40psi is a bit high for a 40mm tyre. There is a roll down test for 35mm tyres across a range of pressures from 15psi to 70psi and 30psi was the fastest. At your weight there is no reason to run more than that when off road for a 40mm tyre.

@MattPage

It was chosen as it's a good pressure for a mix of road & off-road. Tyre pressure is often just personal preference.

Wtb venture is the slowest on-road but also fastest off-road gravel tire that I have ever used.

do not get from your presentation which one is the fast rolling 🤔

Very little difference between them

Yes, far less than expected.

Makes sense: knobby tyres aren't faster on any surface. Their sole advantage off-road is that grip. Besides, the Byways have good enough a grip for all but he most tricky surfaces.

I think the video shows exactly the opposite. A knobbly tyre can be as fast.
