The plus casing is completely worth the higher price. The confidence of rolling this tire came the normal or another tire, can't put a price on it. I really enjoy the compliance and traction. The tire measures true to the label on a 21mm internal rim.
Great tires! I did flat in the rear tire. I sliced the side wall. The slice was huge and the tire was not faulty. Riding tubeless, my sealant wasn't sufficient. I put in a tube and continued my ride with no problems.
Being my first gravel tire, I wasn't sure what to expect when hitting mud and loose rock. I was very surprised when they took everything I could throw at them through bad Ohio hill country.

I have been really happy with the Gravel King tires. The first few months I threw a lot at these and they have handled everything flawlessly. The dirt trails of Forest Park in Portland to some choppy gravel in eastern Oregon I haven't had any worries with these monsters!
Got these for my GT Grade, and our gravel roads in Oklahoma and NW Arkansas. Despite their "bomb proof" construction, they were relatively easy to get on my rims, and seated and beaded really well the first go. I have subjected them to everything from rough country roads to gravel and singletrack and they handled it all well. Highly recommend them.
Awesome
Return process was easy.
I use the tire for exclusively on my gravel bike, but there are some roads on the way to, in the middle of, and from the ride.
Much smoother than my 28 mm Gatorskins work well on both pavement and hard gravel not quite wide enough for sandy conditions. Will see how they do on The Ride the Rockies mixed surfaces.
Gravel, packed dirt? Perfect. Sometimes hard to mount tubeless on some rims.
I like these tires. They provide enough grab on gravel and chat, but are smooth on pavement. The only gripe is the tread pattern tends to throw up chat. Not a deal-breaker for me.
