AMERICAN CLASSIC Gravel Bike Tire, Replacement Tire for Gravel Bicycle, Aggressive Tread for Mixed Conditions - Wentworth, 700 x 40c, 700 x 50c, 650b x 47

Used this as a front tire and an Aggregate as a rear tire for a 100M gravel race in Trinidad, Co - dry, dusty roads and some tarmac, except there had been some rain the night before and we found mud. The tires did much better on the dry stuff (and tarmac) than on mud. Don't get me wrong, they didn't clog up or slide about, but they turned a bit too draggy on mud, but I can't really fault them, as they were not specifically designed for mud. On hardpack they rolled perfectly well, didn't feel floaty or loose and gave me no issues, no tears, no punctures.Setup - they did need a burst of compressed air, but they sealed quickly and had no noticeable leaksMeasurements: the Wentworth came 1mm smaller, 39mm on a 25mm rim surprisingly. The aggregate was true to size - 40mm.Durability: the Wentworth is not showing signs of wear after the 100M, the aggregate seems to be doing a bit worse - wear is more noticeable, and I calculate I'll run out of thread in about 800 to 1000M; however, for the price they are being sold at that is quite a good deal, specially as the carcass seems to be pretty durable and you could eventually use it for a couple more hundred miles as a semi-slick.Performance: some people complain they are not as supple as more expensive tires - honestly, I don't know how they can tell, and I've been riding for many, many years and gone through hundreds of tires. I'll just say they are a perfectly good set of tires for dry weather riding (and mildly moist too) and they won't let you down. If you're a pro or bitcoin rich, definitely spend 4x on other brand: you'll maybe save 50 to 100 grams and get a slight performance gain, but for 99% of us out there they're a great option - I'm trying the 32mm slicks next for my all road set of wheels.

These tire exceeded my expectations. I put these on my fully rigid 29er and they are fast! The Wentworth roll quick but have just enough grip for the technical off-road sections. Extremely easy to set up tubeless. I was previously using Gravel King SS. I was having issues with the tires burping large amounts of air on rocky terrain and they were very difficult to seat tubeless. I swapped to the American Classic's and haven't had a flat yet with several rides primarily on rocky singletrack. I have been running them around 28-30 psi without any issues. The casing is definitely heavier than other tires but I am willing to overlook that for a fast rolling tire that doesn't leave me by the side of the trail.

50c is really about 44c fully set on wider gravel rims. These would be a 5 if 1) the size on the box matched the mounted width a little closer. Heavy, but half the price and a very good tread design for Colorado mixed singletrack, gravel, road rides. Stable handling on pavement and predictable on gravel. Good daily drivers, and you can save the pricey lighter tires for special days. Mounted for about two months.Setup pretty easily on both DT Swiss AL and Spinergy Carbon gravel wheels.

This tire can’t be beat for the price point. Not the lightest tire out there but that’s OK, was never advertised as such. Its well-built, sealed tubeless on the first try, held air overnight without sealant, never lost air and never leaked through the sidewalls when the sealant was added. it does measure a few millimeters shy of what it’s labeled at 50 C, actually closer to 47, but I’m not complaining. It’s a fast rolling beast on just about any sort of terrain it’s thrown onto. At $35, this is a no brainer for any gravel slaying setup if your frame can fit it. I just wish I could fit one this large in my rear triangle as well. I highly recommend this product to anyone that can fit at least 47C on their gravel bike.

Tire had considerable wobble on a new, trued rim. I tried repositioning the tire and resetting the bead to no avail. I remounted the tire on another rim that was also trued, and had the exact same wobble, in the same section of the tire. I’ve basically wasted my tire sealant and time on this garbage. Tire feels cheap and has little tread; will wear out quick. Save your money for something better.

Was looking for an upgrade to the 47mm stock tires on my Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0. I was a little worried these 50mm would be too big for the rear fender, but there is plenty of clearance. These tires wrapped around the rims easy enough, while there still be a good lock on the bead - I’m running them with tubes. They definitely look good, but they also had noticeably better traction than my previous (worn down) set, as I didn’t experience a single slip on a damp gravel ride. Time will tell how durable they are, but so far, so good.

Hate to have to write this review, because the company has been so nice. They even sent me a replacement tire when the first one developed a large hole. Unfortunately that tire, too, developed a hole. These just don't seem to be durable. They are hit or miss. The front tire I bought has been on my bike for months and worked well. The rear tire - holes. And the holes would not seal. I expect more from a gravel tire. I use my gravel bike largely for commuting, so these tires mostly only saw pavement. They shouldn't have developed so many unsealable holes in such a short period of time. I went back to purchasing name-brand tires at a slightly higher cost and haven't had any problems.

Have the 50mm. After ~250km mixed surface riding (road, gravel, pebbles) they already show significant wear on the profile of the back tire.

Best all-round commuter tyre I've ever used.
