Wanted Pair of fast rolling tyres 26"

[CTK]

I cant make my mind up what I want! Must be fast rolling for road and gravel.

Send me some ideas

Schwalbe CX Pro - used them for commuting for about 18 months. Good grip and fast rolling.

Havent got anything to sell but have suggestions from personal experience

Maxxis 310's - hard to find but fast and light
Schwalbe Fast Fred Light - same as above but not as light
Continental Speedking Racesport 2.2 - fast , most chubby on this list.
Wear rate not so great.
Continental RaceKing Racesport 2.2- suprisingly fast on tarmac but heaviest in this list
Innova Pro cobra Skin - my favourite. Light, grip and wear rate excellent
Chaoyang Merlin - fast, light and grip amazing. Wear out extremely quickly though

Not tried yet

Geax aka Pluma - lightest mtb ever. Sub 300grams.

All tested tyres have been ridden on a mix of tarmac and gravel/dirt/grass. Mostly tarmac wet and dry. Only the Raceking is any good in real mud. All others have been great allrounders

I missed out on a pair of the Geax on ebay yesterday.

I run Ritchey Shield 2.1 on my Santa Cruz they're pretty sturdy

The WTB Wolverines on my GT are fast on gravel.

Panaracer Gravel king 26 x 2.1. Lightning fast, enough grippy, supple. Can’t say on durability as only done about 300km. But wow!

Just did a bunch of great miles today on Michelin Country Rock 26x1.75. Fast rolling on pavement, loves gravel, csn handle a little mud or rocky singletrack, doesn't look out of place on a hotrod...
