ThatrCOs really as is common for Jan an opinion piece masquerading as
science.
If your gravel is just gravel roads tread isnrCOt particularly important. If IrCOm hightailing it around Saisbury Plains on the miles and miles of gravel roads and lumps and bumps aka barrows plus military stuff such roads are
high grip environments, probably be fine with 50mm slicks on such stuff assuming didnrCOt hit any deeper bits of gravel.
But certainly for uk, tend to ride a mix of terrains the Ridgeway which is again a road and in places a gravel road, differs in grip level
particularly in the winter. Let alone other areas.
IrCOd note that two of the earlier gravel tyres with similar looking tread designs the Panaracer Gravel king SK and the Schwable G-one allround, the
G-one hangs in there if your pushing on, longer than the Gravel King, both
a small block knobs so very broadly similar, the G One Bites I have now
have, which have taller knobs particularly on the edge tread has a very
obvious higher grip levels.
