I bought the 40c 120tpi Kenda Crushers for my gravel bike and immediately felt the difference in performance and comfort. I'd been riding dirt roads with sandy stretches in North Florida, and my stock tires would slip in sand - the tires were more like slick road bike tires. The Crushers fixed that problem! I no longer spin out in sand when I stand on my pedals, and the tires provide good cornering traction too. I ride paved roads occasionally, as well, and I can really scoot with the tires fully inflated. I've owned Continental, Maxxis, and other pricier tires on other bikes, but these Kendas suit my riding style for this gravel bike nicely.
