Any advice on new tyres for Riverside 700 gravel bike??

[pagheca]

I need to replace the tyres on my acoustic gravel bike, a cheap Decathlon Riverside 700, because the current ones get punctures too often on rough terrain.

The shop suggested one of these options, but I’m not sure which would be the best choice:

At the moment, I’m leaning toward the “Travel” version, although I’m still undecided. Most of my riding is on asphalt and gravel roads, but from time to time I also end up on much rougher terrain and very muddy tracks.

Does anyone have experience with these tyres or recommendations for a good balance between puncture resistance, comfort, and rolling efficiency?

Unfortunately tubeless is not an option on those wheels, and I do not want to spend too much for that bicycle.

Thanks...

I have Panaracer Gravelkings with tubes and not had a flat yet. Very tight to get on!

Not heard of those ones in the picture but I've not had a flat since switching to Specialized Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss. They have a lot of tyres with very similar sounding names.

I have some Panaracer Gravelkings but not used them yet.

Just looked at the GravelKings and was quite shocked at how much they cost. I paid £50 for a pair!

for my drop bar I have Schwalbe g-One Overland on the rear and WTB Raddler TCS Fast Tyre on the front
Fast and grippy and long lasting - tubeless - 45 and 40 psi
the missus runs Schwalbe g-One Allround fore and aft - tubeless

I'd be going for the rock out of the tyres in your pic
plenty of lumps in the middle for low rolling resistance, but decent knobbles on the corners too.

I just checked the bike online
I hope you haven't been tumble drying it!

I agree. And I already ordered them, actually...
