Winner Winner - 33.5mm width on the C2 rims, plus easy to mount with a tube of course

Thanks AS

This is timely. Looking for same thing as I’ve now mounted tubeless GK’s 35’s and Challengers Gravel tires on 34. GK on wanderlust rims (think 21 internal) measured over 37 and the Challengers came in 36ish. My Allied Allroad takes 35’s but man they really mean 35 and barely over from what I’m comfortable with in fit. The nub to nub dimension killed the challengers but they sure looked good.
Gonna try GK in 32’s both SS and ask style.

The GK's in 32 only measured a little over 30 on my Hed C2's. YMMV

Nice. Glad they worked out. Good tires IMO.

As a road-focused alternative you could try the wildly oversized Conti GP4000 S2 28mm. They came out at 33mm on my Easton R90SL rims (19mm internal).

In my experience it's strong and up for light off-road excursions.
