Yup... gp5000 in tubeless flavour. I can't fault em though as I was taking em for off road jaunts every so often for tiny stints of rocky and a few times I probably ran em at lower pressure than I should have (50psi)... Lasted since when they were released and tubeless throughout that time so given me a good life :smile: 2000 miles or well over...

Panaracer GravelKing TLC SK ordered in 32mm... Hope they fit!

I guess we are different, I expect more than 2000 miles!
Have replaced mine with Michelin, although also testing Schwalbe Pro One soon.

But I had 0 punctures, they were rolling well and supple.
GP5000 to a Gravel King is quite a bit of a difference...
Yes... was hoping for 5000 miles out the gp5000 but partly self to blame as been running silly pressures sometimes in the name of experimentation... 28c on plus rims and 50 and 45 psi is probably a bit extreme.. front still looks good but i think fatter is better for me if it gets me off the tarmac (though our tarmac is mostly gravelly in places)... :smile:

I had one like that... went bang and nearly ruined a rim on the decent road bike... as well as nearly chucking me down a steep hill... potentially risky and no saving if the rims knackered.. burial with honours for loyal service!
