Tires are probably the most important component decision any gravel rider will have to make. Bruce talks through his top tire picks that balance speed and puncture protection for Unbound Gravel (and gravel racing in general) — the Schwalbe GOne RS, Continental Terra Speed, Challenge Getaway XP, and Specialized Pathfinder Pro. He also explains why Silca Ultimate is the best tubeless tire sealant and why racers might want to use tire inserts from CushCore or Tubolight.
