Ultradynamico Rose, Rene Herse Juniper Ridge Tires
I am looking for some new 650b tires for my gravel bike and wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with these two tires, Ultradynamico - Rose, Rene Herse - Juniper Ridge?
Are they worth the high price? I am looking for something that would be quite fast on the road but robust but supple of road, gravel. And something that i could just ride where ever i end up and don't have to worry about getting the tires sliced open. Now i have the Vittoria Mezcal, that are great of road, in the woods, but a drag on the road, tarmac.
Thanks!

I think the Rene Herse would be a good allround option, but you'd probably need to choose between the standard and endurance casing considering puncturing.
Tight centre on the Rose looks similar to the Elwood I ran for a while.
Its only a small difference in the outside diameter of a 2.1+ vs a 48mm, but I can feel it and have a preference for the larger rolling size feel.
Thunder Burt (I have liteskin) rolls not too bad on the road.

Eliminate the Rose only because of the listed 47.99 claimed size.

I recommend the Rene Herse tires, if only because Ultradynamico has something to do with this guy, whose curated online persona is just a bit annoying:
