For gravel, even though they measured 38mm on these rims, there still wasn't enough air volume in them. I really needed the 38mm version.
I got the + because it was the only version my shop had, and this was an experiment. They are ever so slightly stiffer but they felt as fast as any gravel tire I've ever used, except for the Terra Speeds.
For Iowa gravel I would recommend the 38's in the non-+ casing. They're fast and grippy.

Ok ya sold me, I just ordered some SS, but in 43mm size because ill never be mistaken for a waifish model and ive grown to like the volume.
