I ride about 75% pavement, 25% gravel. Will these tires hold up on gravel roads?

They hold up on gravel and small stone pretty well. Don't fool yourself it's still a slick.

They hold up fine on gravel but they are more loose when it comes to traction

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

yes they will hold up, I do about the same perhaps even a little more trail (single track) riding on them.

They perfom well in rain. I have a pair of Gatorskins on my rain bike (waterproof panniers) and have not had a problem with traction. They are fabulous tires..!!

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

Not sure who the mfg' er is, but I have these tires on a large lawn tractor and have not had any trouble with them. I would recommend them .

This bike comes with Hybrid tires....not a thin as road but not as wide as mountin bike tires. My wife has rode hers on gravel roads with no issues.

I love the tires. Put them on a stock 96 jeep cherokee for the woods and I think there an awesome tire for the price. There about 6 months old and still Look brand new

I really like the BFGoodrch All Terrain tires. They are very good in driving in the snow, especially at this time of the year.

Funny you should ask.I have about a 1000 miles on these tires mostly on dry roads a lot of chip and seal.the other day I was riding on a cement pier when you get out to the end you have to make 90 degree turn around as I did this the tires were wet and I hit a little sand the bike slid out and I was on the ground.So I would say the answer is no.great tire for dry weather,very little rolling resistance.bike on brother!

sorry it took so long, these tire rule. they say 35-80 so should take the load. they also have a nice ridged construction.

I changed mine out for some 80mm wheels. You'll barely feel any crack or rocks in the road with those. It's various places online you can buy them.. You can buy them here

The tires that come with this bicycle will not work well on loose gravel, my wife loves her Schwinn, we ride on good roadways. I have a Diamondback bike with the same type tires and almost lost the bike on loose gravel.

I use them as tubeless tires with STANS tubeless system. After a few rides, I would buy the Kidna tires that are more aggressive tread.

it all depends, they seem quite durable...I have a few lining a driveway, but can't say i've driven over them.

I have these tires on a 14' fiberglass boat & trailer & motor. Probably weighs more than 1500 pounds. I pulled the boat quite often in Texas hot weather this summer without any problems with the tires.

Easy, it's a super durable tire. I've taken them on mild downhill trails, though gravel trails, off rocks etc no problems. Also put nearly 400KM on them around the city this year.

There is not a lot of tread on these tires...not an issue for a hand truck. No idea if they are high speed bearings
