Great mix terrain tires. Relatively low rolling resistance on tarmac and surprisingly grippy on (dry) gravel and forest roads.I use these tires on a road bike (Canyon Endurace CF SL) for rides on mixed terrain. When mounted on 22mm internal diameter rims the tires measure exactly 32mm wide. I run them tubeless, however setting them up tubeless was quite a hassle. Even with an air compressor the tire beads did not pop onto the rim. What worked for me was leaving the tires sit overnight with tubes in them inflated to max pressure. When taking the tubes out, I left one side of the tires untouched leaving the bead in sit in the rim. When remounted, I managed to “pop” the other bead on the rim with a track pump (valve cores removed from the tubeless valves).

My wifes hybrid bike came with pseudo road tires that are iffy when it comes to taking mildly sharp turns on concrete or asphalt. After reading many reviews, I settled on the 700x35c Gravelking SKs. Installation was relatively easy and painless. The GK SKs are fairly light and weigh 150 grams less than the original mounted tires. Even though the tires are tubeless-ready, I decided to mount them in a tubed configuration. Maximum air pressure in a tubed setup is 75psi, but I chose to inflate the tires to just 65psi, hoping this would be a benefit to ride comfort and improved traction. One item of note: After mounting the tires to the rims and inflating, the tires calipered at just over 37.5mm, which is 2.5mm wider than Panaracers stated specs, so be sure to check your ... MoreMy wifes hybrid bike came with pseudo road tires that are iffy when it comes to taking mildly sharp turns on concrete or asphalt.

With the new tires installed, my wife immediately felt a difference in the way her bike handled when cornering. She said the tires never slipped and quote it was like someone put sticky glue on the tires. I took the opportunity to ride her bike as well, and I was very impressed with the way the side treads grabbed at the road surface. Handling provided a real sense of confidence and rolling resistance was just as good as the tires that came with her bike.The more my wife rides on her new tires, the more she likes them. Now, shes actually looking forward to the time when we will start going out and doing some gravel/hard-pack riding at our local state parks. Panaracers Gravelking SKs are a quality tire at an affordable price. My wife and I highly recommend them!!

I bought these tires a month ago because I wanted to start a trip of 600 km this month. I installed the tires as instructed on 07. September and then let my bike stay in the garage until the 10th in the evening when we wanted to start the trip. I inflated the tires to 3 bar(1 bar below max) and then sat on the bike in my garage and one of the tires INSTANTLY EXPLODED. One of the tires just ripped on the side. There were no screws, nails, not even a stone involved. I weigh 80 kg and the tire didn't even touch the street at this point. The flat wasn't fixable with the tubeless repair set, as the rip is kind of on the side of the tire.The worst part is, the trip fell through, and I had to buy new tires for €200 at a local bike shop, so we could at least start.

It’s early days for a review, but I switched from the SS to the SK version in 43c. Great grip on the gravel and dirt and still a nice road speed on my commute. When the tyre is fresh, it loves to pick up and flick small stones and dirt, so just be wary of this but after a couple of rides it settles down. Probably just the tacky fresh rubber to blame.Set up tubeless which takes a bit of persuasion on my rims, but eventually pops on and seals.Overall, a great gravel/commuter tyre.
I bought these tyres a few months back pretty much as a winter commuter road tyre that had the capacity to cope with our at times poor roads & still cope with a bit of winter off road riding. The fitted great & were easy to set up tubeless (even without a a specific tubeless pressure chamber pump) the were the perfect size (38mm) to run with my full mudguard set up, grip was good on all surfaces road, bridlepaths, etc even in pretty sloppy conditions. They roll well on the road to keeping good speed & not making you feel like you are working extra hard without any payback. Overall very happy with the choice i made.
Super happy with my Gravelking SK's, own two sets, 38's and 43's, have ridden these since April 2021 (2/2023 current) Have not had a single flat with either set. 43's are Big Bird Yellow Tubed and the 38's are purple fuscia tubeless. Raced them, Bike packed with them, single track, double track, rocky terrain (aka baby heads) gravel rough, smooth and some railroad ballast. Being in Oregon they have seen wet days to, thus mud. Bought another set in Jan for 2023 season. Depending on the rider, their skills, will result in varied opinions... For me, these are spot on, from slow rides to nuking corners, I'm happy
I have been riding Gravel King SKs a lot and they are ideal for the mixed surfaces I ride on.From tarmac, rough road, gravel through to rougher single track trails. They have very good grip on dry surfaces and I have not had a puncture on them. Whilst they are best for generally dry conditions they will handle some dampness on the ground but will clog up in wetter and more muddy conditions.I have used both 38mm and now 50mm widths. Both are fine but the wider tyre gives me way more stability and comfort on rough surfaces. Probably the 45mm width is the sweet spot if you ride a mix of terrain.Overall I am very happy with these tyres, pefect for my local roads and trails.
Bought these in 35mm to fit a single speed/tracklocross build which spends about 50/50 time on badly surfaced roads and narrow muddy byways, on a 12 mile commute each way.So far they fulfil duties really well, with everything but deep, gloopy mud being taken in their stride (challenging for all tyres) and provide a good balance between comfort and handling precision with no extreme drag or resistance to speak of.They seem fairly puncture resistant and running with tubes has been no dramas for my use.Recommend them for anyone. They look smart in the tanwalled colour too.
Not had these tyres long so can't comment on long term puncture resistance but I'm really impressed with how they roll. I replaced the stock Kenda tyres that came with my gravel bike because the puncture resistance wasn't great and they were a pig to fit. These Panaracers are much lighter, softer and easier to get on my rims. My commute is a mix of tarmac and light gravel and they are perfect for the job. They're not cut out for heavier mud and do lose traction, but for lighter stuff I'm very happy with my choice!
I have run these in both 32 and 35 on my MEC Provincial Trail and on a 3t discus c35 team Wheelset.Easy to mount without having to battle too unnecessarily. Haven't used them tubeless so can't comment there.Grip is good in a variety of conditions. Roll well with the smoother centre bead on asphalt while still having enough grip on harder pack gravel. Probably best used for those kind of hard pack conditions but I've also used them on on rougher 'no winter maintenance' back back roads and rougher trails /single track, even with the 32s. 35s give more cush and volume without any real difference in feel. Good for me for everything except really wet and greasy mud or over soaked and flooded gravel tracks. Typical performance on wet roads but no issues either.So ... MoreI have run these in both 32 and 35 on my MEC Provincial Trail and on a 3t discus c35 team Wheelset.Easy to mount without having to battle too unnecessarily.

Typical performance on wet roads but no issues either.So works well as an allround especially if you are mixing gravel and asphalt in order to get out to the good stuff.Wears well, better than the Vittoria terreno drys. Current set has maybe 5000kms on them with lots off-road life left.Would also pair well with a 38 gravel king SK on the front for extra grip and looser terrain.Overall one of the best I've used yet and reasonably priced vs many over $90.
