Really good! Use the Evo Type A tubeless, mounts easy and is hard wearing. Great grip and very smooth.

Another happy panaracer user - Gravel king 700x28; durable and surefooted on poor road surface, light enough and decent ride quality to not feel like a compromise. They do get pretty beat up after ~1500mi but that could be just as much a road quality issue.

The tire the Giant store sold you is so bad and overpriced you're suing them?

Pretty sure it's a typo and he meant to say "...using it for now..." That's only two letters exchanged.

I wondered the same thing, first time I read it!

I've been using gravel king slicks for years in various sizes and really prefer them over Continental. I also use Compass which are a bit swankier, but still made by panaracer. I have some 650b Soma grand randonnuer tires and panaracer Evo race gravel that are also very nice tires and used Paselas in the past as well.

Panaracer produces some of the best made tires on the planet and plenty can be had for a very reasonable price!

What i was getting at was to use the vittoria i tossed in with the bike. You can try a different wheelset but the combination of tight clearance and stay flex on the cento uno makes it prone to tubbing out if the saddle. Run 25s

I have some Compass tires made by Panaracer. What struck me was they are very round dimensionally, at least compared to some Continental and WTB tires I've used.

Compass Bon Jon's are nice and plush, but for the price/value I think the GK slicks are better, just wish they came in 35's.

ATMO of course.

This. The Race A EVO3 are a very good all around clincher equivalent to the performance oriented options from other companies. Great tires. a little slower rolling, at least in perception, than the GP4000, but they roll nicely enough and corner great. Maybe more equivalent to the Michelin Pro4 Endurance. The Race L EVO3 are excellent, but less durable.

Back in the day they sponsored my team. I cannot remember what tires I was using but they were my very favorite tire. Super grippy for cornering. They did wear out fast but that's the price you pay for a good tire imho. They remind me of my new favorite clincher, Veloflex Masters.

love panaracers, was a conti guy but after trying panaracer not going back. all around good tires from weight to durability, wear rate, price. its a supple tire. everyone seems to like gravel kings, but its the only panaracer I wouldnt buy again, but its also affordable. my only complaint is that the race series are a bitch to mount. and if one was to have a puncture in cold wet winter months, well that would suck.
