That’s a fattie for the road… Have you seen the Schwalbe G One Speed SuperGround TLE? It’s a low, textured tread, but available in 35mm and 40mm, and Schwalbe tubeless is the best, IMO.

Panaracer GravelKing Slick comes in 700x38c and is tubeless compatible. Maxxis Re-Fuse is available as 700x40c.

It’s 40mm, but the challenge Strada Bianca is a fast, smooth tire. it’s also not hard to mount on a modern, wide rim as people claim.
BRR shows it as the 3rd fastest gravel tire behind the GP 5000s TR 32 and Snoqualmie Pass EL.

Don't let anyone tell you they are too wide for the road. Narrower tires don't really have an advantage, except a tiny weight difference, or possibly an aero- advantage at speeds I rarely approach.

That Panaracer GravelKing looks a lot like the Barlow Pass (which they also make for Rene Herse).

good to know. I went with panaracer due to their lower price. I’m the future may try the RH. Thanks!

The endurance casing is similar to the panaracer standard casing.
