Had a quick search through the forum & couldn’t see anything on it, so thought I’d just ask now.

Has anyone got any recommendations for a 700c gravel tyre for typical UK winter slop? Soil round my way can get a bit of clay in there which doesn’t help matters, max clearance is around 45mm. 

Am I better off going for a CX tyre for the really muddy days?

My recommendation is to avoid

My recommendation is to avoid winter slop. It’s no fun acquiring 10kg of mud stuck to your wheels.

I’m mostly avoiding off-road at the moment but if I do get my wheels dirty, at the moment I’m running a CX tyre, X-Ones in 33mm width, and they’re surprisingly good in mud.
