I see that PanaracerUSA has the listed as in stock and shipping. Being the cheap git that I am, I'm awaiting the distribution pipeline to fill and the street price to drop below MSRP...

I see the GK SS comes in Flamingo Pink which is cool, but wouldnt really match up with my bike. The Pansy Blue is neat and my bike is dark blue so thats cool, but itd be a lot of blue.

An Orange could have worked. Oh well- looks like its just more of the black tread and brown sidewall for me still.

Only thing I'd anxiously await is a big sale on black GKs after all the colors come out.

I've just been buying black GKs on eBay for decent prices. Everything goes with black!

The only acceptable color for a tire is Black.

The pink look amazing.

Speaking of colored gravel tires, I wish the Sim Works Homage had "faster" reviews. That tire in white or even the minty green would be really fun to have on most bikes.

Agreed, I miss being able to pick them up for $35 on Amazon. Luckily I still have a few left in my stash so I should be good for this season.

Phew, prices sure have changed. I used to order a few at a time through UK dealers, which is what I have always done for tires, both road and cross/gravel. Paid around $35 for the GK SKs in 38 and 42 mm. Not anymore! Even ebay dealers seem low on stock. Wouldn't mind a few more of them, as I ride them on 3 different bikes. Anyone know of a decent deal they're willing to share?

Been riding the SKs on my commuter bike for 2.5 years now. I'm sure there are other decent tires out there of a comparable feel/durability. But in all honesty...they're are so many that searching is kind of daunting.

Anybody know of how the Continental Terra Speed gravel tire in 40mm measures? I have to use 38 mm Panaracers because I have fenders on my commuter bike and they're the biggest the clear.

Love that it only took a global pandemic to get people riding bikes...and buying up all the parts on the planet!
