Lets Talk Tires!

So a few of us in this forum are converting hybrids to gravel bikes that ride on some loose gravel and hard pack dirt and need advice on tires.

a. What are the widest tires that can safely mount on traditional road rims. Wide is important as many hybrids are not steel so will need wide tires to absorb vibration.

b. What is an inexpensive gravel tire we can put on our hybrids to test out gravel riding

c. What does a gravel specific tire get us over 28mm Kenda Kwest style tires. Lets face it. We all have a spare set of those in the garage that came with our first bikes.

Thanks!
