Only a couple rides so far but they roll very nicely, quiet on pavement. Good grip on loose gravel. Easy to mount which is why I switched to these from the Schwalbe Marathon tires.

Fantastic tire for dirt, gravel, and paved trails.I have these on a road touring bike. I'm planning a long gravel (Rails to Trails) tour later this spring. I think I've found the proper tire (700x38) for that trip. Knobby enough for gripping dirt and hard-packed gravel and soft enough to absorb vibration. Good grip on nearly any surface (I haven't tried them in deep sand). They mount easily and fit road rims properly. No flats yet, and they seem sturdy enough that I doubt I'll get any.Panaracer tires have always worked well for me. For that reason, I stick to Panaracers for off-road, Continentals for roads, and Clements when I use sew-ups. These Gravel Kings really are nice. I'll use them again when I have worn these out.

This tire really hooks up on the gravel and stones you would find on a say a fire road or neglected logging road. The center strip is surprisingly fast for the type of tire. I'm pleased.

They are quite tight to mount but hey that's any new tire. They are terrific to ride on very very happy with this purchase I replaced my old Bontrager 40 mm that came with the trex FX4 with these. My only complaint is that they do not have max inflation on the sidewall and those numbers for this specific Tire could not even be found on their website not that Max inflation is the be all and end all of how you should inflate your tires and it depends on the rider too I know but still I like to have the manufacturers recommended ranges.

I've been riding with these tires for 2 months now on road and gravel, they have a nice thread and allow me to have lots of fun on the trails!

Good quality tyre in 33c size, tubeless fitting was a bit of struggle but that's probably my technique, once on and inflated have had no issues, get the tyre pressure right for application and these roll quite fast and are comfortable across uneven surfaces.. a quality tyre

Changed my stock hybrid tires with these. Such a difference, wow. I am impressed. Handles turns great, still good rolling tire with 33 width. Can't beat the price too...Also got new tubes, went with slime. Those tubes are heavy but bulletproof....

Tried the tires on a trail. Was OK on hard packed surfaces but didn't work as well on loose sand found during river crossing. The tire width allowed me to make it across though.I think I'll go back to the schwalbe as they last longer

Advertised as 95 max psi, but tires are marked as 60 psi max? Otherwise they are ok so far
