I ride 75% pavement, 25% gravel. Will these tires hold up on gravel roads? I ride a 29er hardtail MTB.

They are looking pretty good after 6 months. I did have a flat from a thorn, so I installed a liner inside the tire. All in all. I'm satisfied. I also have a 29er.

If you're talking about like a crushed gravel/limestone path, you're good. If there is more loose stone, you'll need more grip.

I have used tbese tires last years snow removal. They are awesoe great traction. However li m e any tire weight is the key. Tires are great in every seaso. This is my first season wowing grass with them and there awesoe.

I have had mine for over 8 months and still good. I guess it depends on how much you use them. There are good tires.

great!! the only time i tohought they where less than awesome was on gravel where the tread design actualy picks up and flings tiny bits at you. i love these tires though.

It does better on pavement but it handles ok on gravel too. The road in front of my house is gravel so I have to ride down it to get to pavement and I have never had a problem.

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

These are a good tire for the price but, as with anything, you get what you pay for. As far as being sun resistant, I can't really tell you how resistant to the sun they are. All I can tell you is that when I'm not riding my bike, I store it inside, out of the elements. I have had no problems with this tire. I hope this helps with your question.

They hold up fine on gravel but they are more loose when it comes to traction

I use these tires all year long. They are excellent on highway and off Road. They have always been a quiet tire. I had these tires on my GMC Canyon first and they were great. Now I run them on a GMC Sierra and they're great on it too. I would recommend them to anyone for highway and off-road use snow, dry, or rain.

I'm sorry but I can't verify this as the tires are installed on my bike (for a couple of years already). They seem very light and have certainly held up on the NYC 5 Borough terrain. I also bought the same brand (diff sizes) for two other bicycles.

yes they will hold up, I do about the same perhaps even a little more trail (single track) riding on them.

I have the continental tour ride urban tires 700 x 37 and I couldn't be happier. I love these tires. Just enough aggressive tread to go off road but still not too slow for my road riding. When these tires wear out I plan on buying another set. I really don't think you can go wrong with these tires.

I have them in 700x28 with UltegraBrakes with plenty of clearance. This is a good tour tire not a road race tire.

I will check the tires tomorrow, but I live in Montana, and drove on them all winter. They slide a bit, but have holes for spikes. I drove with them through about 1 foot of snow, with no problem in my Ram 1500, in 2 wheel drive. Only put it in 4wd to turn around when the snow got too deep. edit: guy below answered your question!

I bought the 29er and mounted it with the Stans no Tube kit. No issue! I've been riding this tire for a year now, great traction, rolls well. I like it!

I run Michelin Commanders on my '02 Road king, front and back, on tubeless mag rims and love them. Bike handles great and get upwards of 10,000 miles on the rear and better than twice that on the front.

These are specifically made for unlevel conditions. The only concern is you have to watch the gravel. You don't want big chunky rocks under these. I had to buy two kits as one wasn't enough. I use them on a 12k Lb tandem axle 38 ft 5th wheel. Takes 3 under each wheel for me just for starters then one under the landing gear and rear stabilizers. That's 16 and gives me 4 more to add to the low side. If the campsite it any more out of level then that I don't want to park there anyhow.
