The Byway Road Plus tire is a game-changer for riders. It offers supreme comfort on remote gravel roads, without sacrificing speed on the pavement you need to reach them. The slick centerline, true to its road use, is bordered by angular hatching for a smooth ride on paved sections. Intermediate diamond-shaped peaks provide reliable traction when you're powering through. Meanwhile, the consistent and substantial side knobs protect the tire from rocks and gashes as you explore new areas. It features a Road Plus TCS with a sealant-optimized lightweight casing, folding TCS aramid bead, and Dual Compound DNA rubber. The 120tpi lightweight casing comes with SG2 puncture protection made from ultra-thin nylon inserts, offering full bead-to-bead coverage. Specifications include a labeled size of 700 x 40, black color, ISO width of 40mm, ISO diameter of 622 / Road / 29', flat protection for tread and sidewall, intended use for gravel, defined color as black, tubeless-ready clincher type, 120 TPI, folding tire bead, and a 700c tire diameter.
Using this Byway tire is easy. First, make sure your bike's rim is compatible with tubeless-ready clincher tires. If you're using it tubeless, add sealant to the tire before mounting it on the rim. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure, which can usually be found on the sidewall. When riding, you'll notice great comfort on gravel roads and good speed on pavement. Be careful when riding over sharp rocks or rough terrain to avoid damaging the tire. For maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure and the condition of the tread and sidewalls. If there are any cuts or gashes, inspect them closely. If you're using sealant, check its level every few months and add more if needed. Also, keep the tire clean by washing it with mild soap and water after a dirty ride.
