What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve used the GravelKing EXT Plus on routes where I’m constantly second-guessing what’s under the mud or water—and it’s held strong every time. The TuffTex+ casing gives me the peace of mind to ride hard over sharp rocks, and the rolling resistance stays impressively low for a tire with this much bite."We love the freedom that comes from exploring roads less traveled—and the Panaracer GravelKing EXT Plus Tire is built for exactly that. Panaracer’s signature EXT tread gets a durability boost in this Plus version, letting us float over sharp gravel, wet dirt, and rugged backroads without worry. It’s our go-to choice when the adventure ahead is unpredictable and unforgiving. Dual-layer TuffTex+ bead-to-bead protection is the secret weapon here, delivering enhanced puncture resistance while keeping the supple ride feel we love. Paired with the grippy ZSG Gravel Compound and BeadLock compatibility for a reliable tubeless setup, the EXT Plus is ready for the gnarliest backcountry detours and the everyday rough stuff alike.
