Over the last year I have used Schwalbe marathon extremes for gravel
tires, and have had great luck. This would include DK and Gravel
Worlds finishes, plus 700+ miles of gravel riding. I even threw in a
few cross races for good measure. All of this without a flat. For some
reason I decieded to shed some weight and try out Huchinson Piranha
tubeless. I liked the preformance of the tires, lighter and quicker.
The problem is I have had 2 seperate punctures in the tread in 3
gravel rides. 1 sealed back up while the other required a tube late to
be patched, but either way I have lost the confidence in these tires,
and will most likely return to the schwalbes tubeless. I was wondering
what some of you guys thought about tires for TI or gravel riding in
general.
thanks
