What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Connector Inter has become my favorite tire for unpredictable gravel routes. It rolls fast on hardpack but still grips in loose corners or chunky sections. The transition from center to side knobs is super smooth, and I've never had to second-guess my line."Gravel doesn't always come with a rulebook, and that's why we reach for the Goodyear Connector Inter. As the most versatile tread in the Connector series, it's tuned for riders who blur the line between gravel racing and off-grid exploration. Whether we're lining up for an all-out race or setting out on an all-day mixed-terrain ride, the Connector Inter delivers a balanced feel that keeps us fast, planted, and confident through changing surfaces. At the core is Goodyear's race-focused casing. The intermediate tread design features tightly packed center knobs that reduce rolling resistance, while progressively larger blocks offer stable grip through off-camber turns. Wide, siped side knobs bite into looser terrain for traction when cornering hard or climbing out of the saddle. Add in the Dynamic:UHP rubber compound and we've got a tire that excels at speed, control, and lasting resilience, no matter how far the gravel stretches.
