Hey guys. My first post here so sorry if this question has been answered before. I'm looking for a 650b tyre that will illuminate if possible any sidewall tears on sharp rocky gravel tracks.
A lot of the off road sections I ride here in Ireland tend to have bigger rocks and as a result I've had 3 sidewall tears in only 2 weeks of having my gravel bike...(rondo ruut cf2)
I was running 35c gravel king sk and then 42c wtb resolute and have since come to the conclusion that these tyres on 700c are just not enough for to prevent sidewall tears.
So I have decided to go 650b and 2.1 inch for extra protection. I've been looking at the teravail spar wood but am unsure really.... Could you please recommend a tyre between 47mm and 2.1inch that provides the best protection against these type of flats. I don't care about rolling resistance or speed or light weight I just want a robust tyre. Thanks.
