The Panaracer GravelKing SS Plus TLR is designed for riders seeking speed and control on dry and race-ready conditions. Its key benefit is the balance of fast rolling with robust traction and puncture protection, though its specialized compound may perform less optimally in very wet or muddy environments. This next-generation tyre features Panaracer's latest technologies, including the ZSG Gravel Compound for consistent grip across temperatures, TuffTex+ Casing for enhanced durability and puncture resistance, and BeadLock for easy tubeless setup on various rim types.

The SS Plus is designed for fast rolling and speed in dry conditions, offering a balance between low rolling resistance and controllable traction, along with enhanced puncture protection.
While it provides good control, its semi-slick tread is optimized for drier conditions. For very wet or muddy terrain, a tire with more aggressive tread might offer better grip and mud clearance.
TLR stands for Tubeless Ready, meaning the tire is designed to be used without an inner tube when mounted on compatible tubeless rims, typically with the addition of sealant.
The TuffTex+ Casing features a dual layer of durable material under the tread and extending bead-to-bead, significantly increasing puncture resistance and casing durability while maintaining suppleness for a smooth ride.
The BeadLock technology is designed to work with a wide array of rim types, including hookless and clincher. For tubeless setup, your rims must be tubeless-compatible.
The ZSG Gravel Compound is Panaracer's proprietary rubber compound formulated for gravel. It offers excellent resilience to temperature changes, consistent grip, and lower rolling resistance on various surfaces.
BeadLock is engineered for easier tire mounting and a more secure fit on the rim, often allowing for inflation with a standard floor pump, simplifying the tubeless setup process.
Ensure the rim bed is clean and dry. Try using a tubeless tire lever or a compressor for seating the bead. Double-check that the tire bead is fully seated around the rim before inflating.
Check the tire bead for proper seating. Ensure the valve stem is correctly installed and tightened. Spin the wheel to distribute sealant, or add more sealant if the leak persists. Inspect the tire casing for small punctures and allow sealant to work.
Ensure you are using the correct tire pressure for your weight and terrain. Riding on rough surfaces or in abrasive conditions can accelerate wear. Check if the tire is consistently rolling on appropriate surfaces for its design.
Verify tire pressure is within the recommended range for your setup and riding conditions. Check for any blockages or damage to the tire tread. Ensure the tubeless sealant is still effective and not dried out.
Setup: The GravelKing SS Plus TLR is designed for tubeless (TLR) setups. Ensure your rims are also tubeless-compatible. Install the tire, add sealant, and inflate. The BeadLock technology is engineered for easier mounting, often allowing inflation with a standard floor pump. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your rim manufacturer.
Compatibility: This tire is compatible with a wide range of rims, including both hookless and traditional clincher types, thanks to the BeadLock system. It is available in several popular gravel sizes: 700 x 30c, 700 x 35c, 700 x 40c, and 700 x 45c.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, clean the tires periodically with water and a mild soap if necessary, especially after riding in muddy conditions. Inspect regularly for any embedded debris or damage to the casing. Ensure correct tire pressure is maintained for the riding conditions to maximize performance and minimize puncture risk.
