Panaracer Gravel King SS
Anyone used these yet? Initial reviews indicate it's fast. I'm currently on G-One All-Around's and looking at the GK SS or Conti Terra Speed next.

Love my Terra Speeds, but when they wear out, I'm thinking about trying the SS, looks like a good combo for speed a lil grip.

This is an interesting tire for me since it comes in 43mm and looks like the centerline traction is pretty minimal.
I love my WTB Resolutes, but am always interested in trying something else if itll magically make me faster or really wont make me slower.
The Gravel King lineup is confusing. It is almost as bad as Schwalbe's Marathon line. Its like Panaracer is just adding all sorts of tires under the Gravel King name. Also, its tough to tell what the real differences(versus claimed) will be between some of the tires.

Not sure exactly, prob less than 1,000 miles on the first one, but that was mostly road miles. They're def fast tires, and grip really well, so it's a tradeoff. Love 'em for a race tire, but want something that lasts a lil longer but is still fast on mixed surfaces.

I'm really interested to see how wide these mount up on wide ID rims.

That makes the 38mm SS pretty attractive to me. Thanks for the heads up on Gravel Cyclist.
