The tread is separating on one of the pretty new Specialized tires on my 1983 Trek 720 so I’m in the market. I guess the area I had them stored for a few years was too hot. I’m not overly upset since they are 700 x 28 and I wanted 35’s on the bike but hey I had the tires…

Anyway here is the order for my decision making:
1. Soft comfortable ride
2. Sturdy - puncture resistant
3. Light weight

I use another bike for touring so I use this bike mainly for longer day rides mostly on pavement but want to be able to handle gravel without to coarse of tread.

I like Schwalbe Marathons but they fail at #3.

I’m thinking about GravelKing SS but not familiar with them other than the tread looks fine enough and I like the dark tan sidewalls.

I’m willing to go wider than 35’s if the 720 will handle them. I have vintage rims so tubeless capable doesn’t matter.
Thanks for any suggestions and/or more info on the GravelKings.
