It is time to try 650b - Gravelking, Strada USH or Terreno Zero tire?

Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

It is time to try 650b - Gravelking, Strada USH or Terreno Zero tire?

It is time to try 650b - Gravelking, Strada USH or Terreno Zero tire?

I think that I am finally ready to try 650b tires. I will be buying new set of wheelset and I am looking for a best tubeless tire that will be:

1. Fast on pavement but also safe on dry gravel.
2. As Supple as possible
3. With good puncture resistance

I have narrowed down the choice to 3 tires:

1. Panaracer Gravelking 650x48. Fast, supple but I don't know about puncture resistance when it comes to slick tire.
2. Donnelly Strada USH 650x50. The biggest volume, supposedly fast on pavement and good puncture protection but I don't know if this is the supplest tire on the market...
3. Vittoria Terreno Zero 650x47. New kid on the block so a big question mark but it looks super fast and rather good in terms of puncture protection. But how about suppleness?

I’m considering the Donnelly Strada USH and the Vittoria Terreno Zero as well. But in a 35-40 range. My riding area is a mix of pavement and gravel. I forgot and the Hutchinson Overide. I can’t decide

I wouldn't focus too much on puncture protection with a tubeless setup

I think that owners of compass tires would kindly disagree

yeah, wouldn't that be like taking out an insurance policy on an insurance policy? plus the added heavier weight?
