Byway is the gravel tire of choice for long days of endless exploration when pavement, hardpack and gravel are all on the menu. Staying true to the adventure road end of its usage, a slick centerline and angular grooves encourage swiftness on any pavement required to get to the good stuff. Intermediate, diamond-shaped peaks provide steadfast traction under power, while consistent and more substantial side knobs extend down the sidewall to provide cornering confidence and puncture protection.
Usage: Gravel • Cyclocross
Conditions: Hardpack • Dirt • Gravel
Features:
Efficiently Smooth Centreline: Minimizes rolling resistance on the primary contact point of the tire and transitions into angular grooves that channel water away from the centerline.
Supportive Intermediate Tread: Small diamonds of tread provide just enough traction to keep things upright before reaching the outer knobs.
Prominent Outer Knob: Provide the extra bite you need while cornering on the gravel road that makes your afternoon loop possible.
Tubeless Compatible: TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.
