Gravel tires · riding data
A tire for the way you ride.
There is no single best tire. There is the one that fits where and how you ride. We match it using the experiences of riders who ride in similar conditions.

How it works
One rating tells you little. The pattern across many experiences does.
Your riding
You describe where and how you ride: surface, conditions, priorities, size and bike.
Rider experiences
We compare the experiences of riders who ride in similar conditions.
Match
You see which tires fit the way you ride best, and how sure that result is.
Questions and answers
Straight answers.
Where the data comes from, how to read a result and what happens to your experience.
Where does the data come from?
Catalogue data comes from manufacturers' official sources. Riding data comes from riders who describe the tires they actually ride: setup, mileage, surface, conditions and specific ratings. We don't treat manufacturers' marketing copy as ratings.
Is a match a ranking of the best tires?
No. A match is always about your riding. The same tire can fit someone on hardpack gravel very well and someone riding in mud poorly.
What does Confidence mean?
It tells you how much riding data stands behind a match: how many experiences there are, how closely they resemble your riding and how consistent the ratings are. Confidence doesn't change the order of tires. It tells you how far you can rely on the result.
Why do some tires have no match?
Because we don't have enough experiences for that size yet. We only calculate a match once at least three riders have described the size. Until then we say so: not enough data.
Why does the tire size matter?
Because 38 mm and 50 mm of the same tire are two different rides. We count experiences per size and never average them across widths.
Do I need an account?
No. You can find a tire and add an experience without one. Ratings are never published under your name.
What if my tire isn't in the catalogue?
Report it in the experience form: “Can't find your tire? Report the missing one”. You pick tires from the catalogue instead of typing them in, because that is the only way experiences stay comparable.
