These are the gravel tires pros won on this year and the ones topping the big tire tests, sorted by size. Every morning this page checks each tire’s current price and logs it, so you can see what it normally costs and whether today’s price is a real deal.
How to read it: prices are per tire, from Worldwide Cyclery (inCycle for Specialized tires). Amazon prices often differ and change through the day, so use the Amazon button to check yours. A Deal tag means the tire is at least 10% under its typical 90-day price, or 15%+ under list.

How this works
- The tires here are the ones winning big gravel races in 2026 and topping the major tire tests, limited to tires with a US store price that can be checked every morning. Prices are per tire, not per pair.
- 90-day range is the lowest and highest price seen in the last 90 days. Deal means the tire is at least 10% under its typical price, or marked down 15% or more from list. 90-day low needs two weeks of history before it shows.
- Amazon prices aren't listed because they change through the day — tap the Amazon button to see yours. Amazon links are affiliate links; buying through them supports the site at no extra cost to you.
- Reference prices come from Worldwide Cyclery's store, and from inCycle, a Southern California Specialized dealer, for Specialized tires. Shipping and tax aren't included.
- Race and test notes come from Schwalbe's Unbound 2026 results, Rouleur, Silca, Velo, BikeRadar, Cyclingnews, and road.cc.
