I'd been using WTB Resolute tires for the past 3-4 years and wanted to switch it up. The traction on the Resolute was great but I found them to be a bit inefficient on the road. The Raddler is balanced a bit more towards road efficiency and, in the couple of months I've had them, I haven't found them to be less grippy on the more gnarly gravel roads and (easyish) single track that I've used them on. It took a couple of rides for them to cure and maintain pressure when setup tubeless which matches my experience with the Resolute. I will strongly consider buying them again.
I didn't have any trouble mounting these tires. I did hang them off the workbench for a couple days to let them unfold. While I haven't had to usually use a Pedro's Tire Lever to finish getting the bead of some other tires over the last inches, I did with these, but it was hardly a struggle, just to ease it over.
I have an old Italian Ciocc frame, and I enjoy the feel of these tires. So far so good. Not enough miles to know if I won't get many flats...
Purchased these Continental Gatorskin 700c Road tires to replace similar ones. I don't race so I am not looking for the lightest tire to minimize weight.
However, my rides may take me 25 miles or more away from home/car so I am focused on tire durability and reliability along with reasonable ride comfort and handling. Having peace of mind that I've minimized the likelihood of getting a puncture is more important than the aspect of pure speed.
I bought a pair of these to convert an old hard-tail MTB to gravel/rail trail use. For this application, the G-one Allround is an ideal tire - wide enough to work and look great in the MTB frame and terrific grip. I'm not racing these (they are for rides with my wife), but they seem pretty smooth and fast rolling to me. They compare favorably to the Maxxis Ramblers I have on my drop-bar gravel bike. Great tire, particularly if you want a wide size.
