Maxxis Rambler Tyre - Exo - Tr - Black

These tires make for a fair commute on pavement and they give enough stability for good speed on rough trails, but I wouldn't enjoy more than 15 miles of pavement at a time on these. Although these don't prevent crashes on snow-packed severe grades at night, they do provide enough traction to really test your bike and abilities. Their reliability is good, even in rocky terrain, and in goathead country I never rolled over anything that Orange Seal couldn't fix with these tires, but I cannot yet speak to their longevity as I haven't ridden more than a couple hundred miles on them. After doing everything from evening jaunts around the neighborhood to adventures gone wrong, these tires helped me get lost and back to safety (and they did a good job of it too).

After doing everything from evening jaunts around the neighborhood to adventures gone wrong, these tires helped me get lost and back to safety (and they did a good job of it too). They handle mild mud and wet grass only as well as your skills do, but they are no match for Owyhee peanut butter mud (nothing is). These tires would complement some slicks pretty well if you're the type to switch tires for different uses, but I wouldn't go for much more tread on a gravel bike. You know I like the Maxxis Rambler tires because I rambled about them ;)

Great looking tires that handles pavement, gravel, light mud really well. Has a good supple feel on the gravel that sucks up jolts to body. Just enough Fred in it that it does great on cornering with loose stuff. Great tire!

Ran 650b x 47mm on a 200km bikepack this past weekend, over mix of pavement, loose gravel, grass, light mud. Tires handle very well, good grip and comfort, decent rolling resistance. Set up tubeless and running 32-36psi, no leaks or sealant weeping. Bought a second set in 700c x 38mm for my second set of wheels. Very happy with these tires compared with the Panaracer Gravelkings which leak constantly.
