Ted and Ben: I wanted to suggest that you review the Specialized Renegade tire 29 x 1.8" (700 x 46c)

https://www.specialized.com/us/en/components/sworks-renegade-2bliss-ready/105802

for your Gravel Tire Finder: http://ridinggravel.com/graveltires/

I think that it is a great tubless tire. It is baisically a 46c version of their Tracer Pro cyclocross tire

https://www.specialized.com/us/en/components/tires/tracer-pro-2bliss-ready/117834

I like it because it fits in the front of my standard cyclocross bike (Van Dessel), and provides some good front end cushion. It doesn't fit in the rear (I wish Specialized made a 41c version of this tread); so I use the WTB Nano 700x40 or Surly Knard 700 x 41c in the rear, and they pair well.

You have the 700 x 47c Specialized Trigger Sport on your Tire Finder site, the Renegade 1.8 is a similar size tire, highr quality, with a much more usable tread.

These were only sold by Specialized/Specialized dealers, and since they don't make them anymore you won't be able to find them in any stores/online. Your best bet is to keep an eye on ebay, as they do pop up time to time. I really like these tires, so I stocked up when they were clearing them out for $30.

I just checked ebay. This guy has a bunch he's selling at $30 each. Get em while they last!
