  Is the measure "36mm" for the width reliable, or are they a bit bigger once mounted?

  These measure 40mm as per manufacturer. Depending on rim inner diameter they could be slightly wider or even narrower once mounted. Hope those answers your question.

  I am 90kgs, riding the thunderos 44. One possible solution to the snakebites is to use tire inserts. I have some foams in there and have not suffered any issues with it. Going to try the 48's now (hopefully they will fit).

  Nice review. Thank you for the honesty and good explanation. Your conclusion has been my experience as well. Bigger to a point is good for sure. Knowing the limit of where too big becomes diminishing return, and a negative in terms of unnecessary added weight and decreased aerodynamics, is a key thing to know. 47-50 is light MTB territory and should be used as such. For gravel 38-43 seems to be a sweet spot, perhaps slightly smaller for all out racing. Mostly roads and 32 fits the bill nicely.

  Hi. From what i see on paper the rambler looks faster. Think it’s a great tire as i have an athlete using a set. But again it will depend on terrain, pressure and what width you looking at. Most tests are done with the narrower versions and also not in real world environments. Gravel tyres are designed to perform on dirt.

  Were you running the Terreno Dry 47C tires you were reviewing a while back? If so, how was your experience with them?

• 
  @massimoguglielmisa9 ай бұрын

  Yes I was. So with all the testing I ran them at the recommended pressures. Rear - 2.6 bar (37.7 psi), Front a little lower at 2.4 bar (34.8 psi). The terrain was really rough with a lot of rocks and corregation but at no point did I feel as if they were going to fail. One of my youth athletes on the other hand did not have any luck. He used the Tufo Speedero I also tested and got a sidewall cut and snakebite even though he is very light. So the Terreno dry in 47C really held up and I must say for their size don’t roll had at all. But next in line for me would be a more slick tyre to test in a bigger size for more speed.

  @@massimoguglielmisa Perfect, thanks for the reply. I bought Terreno Dry 47 for the front and 45 for the rear. Have not put them on yet but looks like I made a good choice. I'm doing a 120km gravel race in two weeks so I may actually put them on for that. Currently I'm on non-TLC Goodyear Connectors 45 and I'm impressed with how good they are for being a cheap OEM tire, they are getting quite a beating from me. AFAIK Tufos are known to be relatively quick at the expense of durability. They recently introduced more "rugged" variants of their gravel tires, not sure which one he ran.

•

  That is great. I’m sure you will be happy what type of terrain is the race going to be? As for those Tufo’s they were the Speedero in a 40C and I agree they are fast but it comes at a risk. Good luck for your race.

  Had similar experience with Schwalbe G-One Overland 50mm -- huge, heavy, slow but very durable. Will probably put them on my old alloy wheelset and make winter tires out of them. But I don't think all 50mm gravel tires are equal in this, I'm sure there are tires that wide that are actually still pretty snappy. The issue with yours is that it's a MTB tire (as you mentioned), the issue with mine is that it's for "bikepacking, commuting and ebikes", which pretty much fully equals "slow AF" -- I was stupid for not paying more attention to that spec when I was buying them.

  Surely everything I do is in my own opinion however it based off testing on certain terrain and pressures. It’s not just riding but riding on mixed surfaces with different tyres pressures, and with the bike I used, the Giant Revolt using the flip chip both ways surely it is test. One does not need raw data to determine this as the change is enough to get from a real ride feel.

• 
  @massimoguglielmisa11 ай бұрын

  True. Wider rims weren’t accessible at the time however the minimum tyre pressure still remains from manufacture. But as I have said these are pretty great and roll really well on the current rim as apposed to the 50C and or the flip chip on the longer wheelbase setting. So with the current setup they really rolling well. Also not everyone will be using wider rims out the box either so it was good to see how they are on these.

  I have the 44 Thunderos. Love the speed on road and gravel and predictable grip and confidence that the side knobs give you. However I have the same experience with snake bites. The tires held up well on 1500+ km's of mixed gravel and road including ronde van riebeek (6+ doorings in the tire, all sealed) and the Gallows. But riding the contour path over Kirstenbosch garden's gave me 2 snakebites that I could not seal with plugs. I am 95 kg's though. I switched the front to a specialised pathfinder 42 for the added puncture resistance (supposedly) but these are more nervous on gravel when cornering.

  Great to get some added feedback. They are really great tyres but seems it’s safe to say that even the wider option can result in a snakebite too if you are a heavier rider. My snakebite was at the Swartberg 100 and in a race at in Vredfort Dome in Parys in the Freestate. I’m also adamant that it is the compound of the tyre, the weight of the rider the and not the size that will determine if they will cut or not.
