[la85]

Whats everyones thoughts on Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45mm vs SCHWALBE G-One R EVO 38mm for a 100km gravel race? Will be wet, muddy, gravel roads both rough and well maintained with bugger all asphalt.

Cheers

Whats the consensus on tire pressure on 45mm gravel tyres in mixed conditions for best rolling resistance and grip?

32psi Front and 35psi Rear seems good. Will going to 40 PSI roll much faster?

For a wet and muddy course you need a narrower tire with wide spaced knobs. So a 38-40mm wide tire. A cinturato M or S in a 40 would work.

Thanks! Any feedback on a SCHWALBE G-One R EVO 38mm in the wet on gravel?

Regarding tire pressure then it depends on total system weight. I recommend using the silca tire pressure calculator. According to Josh Portner a few psi lower is preferred to a few psi to much.
