Ruffy Tuffy of the sorts - what similar tyres are out there

[AJosiahK]

Been rolling on a set of these 28s for a while and want to get a fresh set. Since Riv seems to not produce them anymore (right?) id like to find a comparable pair of tires. It also would not hurt if they were a bit bigger in volume. I'm certainly looking for similar tread and aesthetics too. I imagine there might be threads similar to this so feel free to link as I may have missed them.

What have you all ridden and had good luck with?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Another Panaracer would be the closest.

700x28 Gravel King slick (https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/panaracer-gravel-king-700c-tire) or Soma Supple Vitesse (https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/soma-fabrications-supple-vitesse-ex-tire).

You might ask Riv what they recommend.

tan wall jack browns at 33mm wide are nice

Soma Supple Vitesse

I have both of these. The SuppleVit are the EX and 38mm, and the Jacks are 33. The Jacks are smaller, but feel like the are more robust tread wise. They Roll about the same I guess [perceived]. I got the EX on the Soma as the tread is thicker where the rubber meets the road, and I figure it will be as thick as the UL version after X miles anyway. So I will wait for them to get lighter for the price and expected duration of use.

Also have 30mm WTB JB Alpines for a bike that won't fit the fatter Soma/Browns. The inverted tread is grippier than expected on slimy stuff. I think there is a 35mm Tubeless version of these.

For some reason, I like rolling on the Jacks best, and they are on an AL frame, the other two are on Carbon and Ti.
