Gravel King Slick Directional?

  40 mm GK+ from 40 to 50 psi

  44 mm Snoqualmie Pass Endurance from 35 to 45 psi

I have not with:
  32 mm GP5000 from 50 to 60 psi
  35 mm Taraxagum from 45 to 55 psi
  36 mm Strada Bianca Pro from 40 to 50 psi
  40 mm G-one from 40 to 50 psi
  40 mm Marathon Almotion from 40 to 50 psi
  42 mm Shikoro from 40 to 50 psi
  45 mm Cinturato Gravel H from 30 to 40 psi
  48 mm Shikoro from 30 to 40 psi

I'm not sure with these, I haven't used them for a long time and they were on narrower rims but don't remember serious tramlining:
  38 mm Barlow Pass Extralight around 55 psi
  42 mm Soma SV EX around 50 psi

Those pressures are probably a little high for gravel.  I haven't tried lower pressures because I want to avoid pinch flats and rim damage.  The Cinturato Gravel are big enough I could try the front at 20 or 25 psi on smooth, grooved pavement to see what happens.

Well of coarse not, because sometimes you have to make do in a pinch right! 😂 JK.  I'm sure you are right, but most of the directional tires I've used have had some sort of indicator.
