I rode this past weekend on the C&O with the new Panaracer Gravel SK with tubes at 50psi front and 55 psi rear. Honestly, I thought they rode great! But I rode on the sections with the newer stones. So chances are most tires would have done ok on that section. But frankly, I felt these tires had a nice lighter and better feel to them compared to my prior tires the Impac Smartpacs (generic Schwalbe SmartSam tires).
