been a paying member for over 2 years. My lone vote does not count for much. I just looked and I don't think there was a single 700x32 road tire and only one 700x30 to vote on.

That's because 32mm road tires are grouped in the gravel/cx section where there are a fair number of them. They don't have many 30mm tires tested because to be fair - for most of the time that site has been up - 28mm has been the road standard and 32mm up has been gravel/cx. And from the few tires that have been tested in virtually every size - it really only takes testing one or two of them at any size to have a pretty good idea of what its characteristics will be at every size.

I see a bunch of 30, 32, 33mm on the latest vote list -- way down the list though. After the width comparison article (Conti gp5k STR 28/30/32), I've presumed the BRR drum test only measures hysteresis thermal losses, not suspension losses.

your list must be different than mine. All the 30/32's are cx/gravel. can you name a couple of the 700x32 road tires so I can see if they are on my list? maybe there is a second page I am not showing for some reason. thanks

Are you talking in the list of already tested tires, or the voting list? I'm seeing lots of 30-35mm tires in both lists, but yes, they are classified as CX/Gravel.

In the current vote list I see 5 road tires 30-35mm in the top 25 or so.

• Rene Herse Orondo Grade TC 700Cx31 Extralight
• Pirelli P Zero Race TLR 4S (SpeedCore) 32-622
• Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 30-622
• Pirelli P Zero Race TLR SpeedCore 30-622
• Enve SES Road Tire 35-622

etc.

On the voting list, yet they are not showing as road but as cx/gravel on mine. seems odd anyone would use those as gravel tires. how many gravel riders are going to be picking any of those tires? maybe they need to separate the cx and gravel tires into their own groups instead of combing them.

As I said above, that's just a legacy of how he designed the site at the beginning when road tires were exclusively 25-28mm.

I agree there should be a way to look at all the data in a single table though, and perhaps a re-classification, but it generally works fine now understanding that.

There is a tab called Pro View that lets you look at all tires together.
