    Looking for something more durable for boreens and light gravel that you might get on Ireland's backroads for my Endurace. Not hugely into cyclocross, but would be cool to be able.

    Currently running 28c GP5000 and they're fantastic but definitely felt like I took my life into my hands descending down the gravel path of Kippure!

    Tanwall obviously a huge plus.

    Some of the things I was looking at:
    • Schwalbe G-One Allround LiteSkin V-Guard Gravel

    • Panaracer Gravel TLC

    Are you talking about the road up to Kippure mast? For that there is no need for gravel/cx tyres as it's not loose enough. For road with debris like that I'd reccomend conti 4 seasons Michelin power endurance v2. Consider tubeless aswell to deal with potholes
