I made a listing of every road/gravel 650b tire I could find. Anyone want to take a look and see if there is anything I’m missing? Probably should add the Thunder Burt - are any of the other Schwalbe MTB tires honorary gravel/rando tires? Sorry for giant PNG, I’m not able to share sheets right now.

You forgot @Orc’s favorite! Hutchinson Conferie des 650b

Is it worth distinguishing between the TLE and tubed versions of a bunch of the Schwalbe tires on your list? Some sizes are only available in one of the two options.

Continental Speed King RaceSport in 650bx2.2 They feel really fast I love the set I have, but as far as I know are not officially tubeless-able.

Also, this is great. I’m looking forward to being able to play with a sortable/filterable spreadsheet.

I wasn’t aware of a bunch of the Conti offerings.

Huh. Ultra Sport III in 584-25 and 28

Found this small aberration on this (tubeless) strada bianca. No sign of milk on the outside, thinking it’s a thorn or otherwise inserted object causing the bulge and milk clotting? Should this be trusted? Curiously, there is also a very small dip on the sidewall on the left side, in the exact same location but hard to capture in photo.


might be a torn casing

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll add them in with a couple others I found randomly looking at Universal/Jenson.

Sure, I’ll post the live link when I’m done cleaning it up

That’s great, I’m going to cross check and see how many are still around. Seeing the Hakkapeliitta reminds me there’s a 650b Rock N’ Road I need to look up.

Here’s the link to the 650b tire listing, you should be able to download and transfer to your own Excel/Sheets to play with the data as you want. Let me know if there’s anything that needs to be added. This is basically every non-MTB 650b tire (+ a few honorary MTB models) I could find in production a couple weeks ago. There are a few graphs I made showing some comps as well.
