SILCA's years of studying rim width and tire width as one interacting system raised an obvious question: how wide should that system go, and the Protocol RCG-3 32in tire is the widest confirmed answer so far. It carries the same puncture-focused, balanced construction as the standard RCG-3 lineup, scaled to a 2. 4 inch width for riders whose mixed-terrain courses call for more volume and a larger contact patch. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for the 32in when a course gets rowdy enough that the extra volume matters more than a lighter, narrower setup would."
