Tyres Test - Slick vs Aggressive Pattern
To believe, or to know? To believe is much more comfortable, no need to think. For instance, a large majority of cyclists believes, that narrow tyres with high pressure have lower rolling resistance, which is not (https://docplayer.net/23861521-Schwalbe-tyres-distributed-by-bicicletta-translated-from-mountainbike-magazine-de.html). Probably, quite a similar faith we have regarding tyres tread: aggressive pattern always has better grip and traction. Thus, we decided to test it. The test tyres are on read wheel of exact the same bikes. Both tyres are inflated to 1.4 bar pressure. Both tyres have the same size and carcass: 60-622 (29 x 2.35) SnakeSkin, TL Easy. Looks as the slick Schwalbe G-One Speed Evolution has a significant better grip on dry gravel path.
