We had a very bad run with their gravel tyres locally. They just don't handle our sharp flinty gravel. Even punched a stick through my Speedero.
I'd give these road goers a try if I can get hold of some.

Looks like an excellent tire, but seems to be rather wide. The 28mm measures 30mm even on an 18mm rim. Probably too wide for my rims with 23 inner / 30 outer diameter.

If the 25mm tyre does the same thing and actually measures around 28mm on a modern rim then it could be a good option. The wide tread means there'll still be good coverage.txg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 9:42 amhttps://www.bicyclerollingresistance.co ... a-prima-tr

Tufo tubulars not so long ago were said to run like garden hoses in terms of comfort. I wonder how this tyre would perform in this regard.

Grippy, puncture resistant, and rolls well... this tire just jumped to the top of my list for next spring. Especially if they bring oversized 30mm and 32mm tires. On 21 IW, I'd like a 32-34mm tire.
It's also very light for the size, tread coverage, and protective qualities. 30mm WAM Prima is lighter than 25mm WAM S-TR and 29mm WAM TT-TR
If it rides supple like a Power Cup (is it on that level?), I see no downside so far.

Good to hear Then it looks like indeed another candidate is there to choose from for riding this autumn / next spring.

Thundero 48s will be awesome. I'll be keeping an eye out for the larger Comturas but might have to pick up some 28s for riding this winter unless the 30s are available. Tufo used to be the tire brand to avoid but they've been dropping some solid options recently.
