So we’ll see how they do. There are a number of gravel roads and trails around where we live and I’ve been hesitant to spend too much time on them, with the Gatorskins. I want a little more tread than that.
But my wife gets nervous riding on most roads so this is a good chance to explore a new dimension to our riding. I think she would like the peacefulness of gravel. We’ll see!
I have 43mm Gravel King SK's on my gravel bike, they are great tires and would be my choice on the Katy and similar dirt/gravel. The SK rolls really well on asphalt, yet grips very well in turns on dirt single track has been my experience. A superior tire to the WTB Riddler that came on the bike.
