Why We Like The Cinturato GRAVEL M Tire
Pirelli's Cinturato GRAVEL M Tires are chunky enough to handle whatever mixed terrain we're throwing at them. They're designed to thrive on loose surfaces, thanks to the SpeedGrip rubber compound which maintains traction on steep climbs. They maintain a high level of puncture protection, and we're loving the knobby tread height and spacing that deliver versatile performance in mixed off-road terrain.

Best tires!

These are the best gravel tires hands down. Smooth on the road and awesome in the dirt! Pretty quick delivery too.

Decent tire for rougher roads
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Compared to the Teravail Cannonball which I rode before, the Cinturato Gravel M has a bit more grip on gravel and the loose stuff, and a bit more rolling resistance. The difference is not as big as I expected though - I would say that the Cinturato looks more aggressive than it really is. The good - the compound is grippy, it went on pretty easily, and it's a decent all around tire. If you want to go mainly on paved roads and smooth gravel, it's probably a bit too rough. Conversely, if your primary target is singletrack, then you may want something with a bit more bite. No opinions on wet grip since I haven't tried it. The bad - it went on easily and popped on the rim right away, but it did not seal properly until I pumped it up to 80 psi and left it like that overnight. After that it was fine. I got the tan wall which looks cool, but it's a pretty dark brown compared to other tan wall tires. So if you want something with a light color that really "pops", this may not be for you.

Great Tread Pattern for rough terrain
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 42c
- Height:
- 5' 10"
- Weight:

I rode a set over the winter when I spend less time on Tarmac and more on Western North Carolina fire roads. The tread is excellent for rooty rocky terrain, zero complaints there. The 2-star deduction is for the sidewall tear I got on a gravel downhill section. Instant deflation of the front tire, heart in my throat moment. The tear was from a piece of gravel; it wasn't glass or metal or anything like that. I don't like having second thoughts descending at speed, so I switched to a different tire after that.

Nice-looking, aggressive tire

UPDATE: Still loving this tire after a few thousand miles. Supremely confident on rougher gravel, at least in terms of durability. I am of course running them tubeless with sealant just in case but to my knowledge have not had even a tiny puncture even as the center knobs are starting to wear thinner. Still tend to air them up to 35 psi but at that pressure they are pretty hard/firm on gravel and could come down 5 psi. Easy to mount. I have swapped them back and forth several times between Zipp 303s (hookless) and Stans wheel sets (700c) without a problem. Original Review: This tire looks nice and is more aggressive than the average gravel tire. The side knobs are good for cornering on dirt but not so ideal for cornering on street. My intent for this tire is mainly off-road, for which I find <35psi to be best. When I have to take them on-road, 45psi+ feels pretty solid. In at least the 40mm width I do notice the extra rolling weight when trying to accelerate. These were very easy to mount and seat with a canister-type floor pump.

Disappointment
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 700 X 50c
I couldn't begin to get these tires on the rim. It's almost as if they were 650's marked as 700's. Couldn't even get the first bead around the wheel. The tire levers were ten inches apart and not going anywhere. I have Pirelli P Zero tires on my road bike and they fit fine. I wanted this tread for gravel and was truly disappointed when they wouldn't mount. And I paid for overnight shipping because one of the WTB tires that came with my bike was defective and blew before I got one mile down the road. Wound up with the Maxxis Rambler which is working out quite well. Easy to install and have taken quite a beating.
