The WTB Byway TCS Gravel Tyre is engineered for adventure cyclists who frequently transition between smooth pavement and loose gravel paths. By combining a fast-rolling slick centreline with aggressive side knobs, this tyre provides high-efficiency speed on hard surfaces without sacrificing the traction needed for technical turns, though it may struggle in deep, sticky mud due to its semi-slick profile.

Yes, while designed for TCS tubeless performance, these tyres are fully compatible with standard inner tubes.
These are designed for mixed-surface and hard-pack gravel; they do not have the deep tread pattern required for efficient performance in thick, sticky mud.
Ideal pressure depends on rider weight and terrain, but typically ranges between 30 and 50 PSI for a 40mm tyre.
Yes, the slick centreline makes it very efficient on the road, though it is slightly heavier than a dedicated road race tyre.
If running a tubeless setup, you must use tubeless-compatible rim tape to create an airtight seal.
Use a blast of compressed air or a tubeless floor pump and ensure the tyre bead is coated with a little soapy water to help it pop into place.
Ensure the tyre is properly seated and allow the sealant to coat the interior by spinning the wheel; if the leak persists, check for small punctures and plug if necessary.
To maximize the benefits of the Byway, a tubeless setup is highly recommended. Ensure your rims are 'TCS' or tubeless-ready and use a high-quality tubeless sealant to seal the bead. Always verify your rim width is compatible with a 40mm tyre profile to ensure the tread pattern remains effective. To maintain the tyre, occasionally inspect the outer knobs for debris and periodically replenish your sealant every 3 to 6 months depending on local climate conditions and riding frequency. Check tyre pressure before every ride to ensure you are within the recommended manufacturer PSI range, especially when adjusting for specific gravel surface types.
