We unveil the road.cc Recommends Tyres of the Year 2024/25
Whether you’re after tyres for the road or gravel, check out the best we’ve reviewed over the past 12 months – from Vittoria, Michelin, Panaracer and moreawards, because we’ve reviewed a huge variety and the quality has been impressive. In this roundup, we’re covering both road and gravel options, including those reviewed by our sister site
We don’t always present all three awards in each category; it depends on what we think the products in our selection genuinely deserve. Spoiler Alert! We haven't dished out a Bargain Buy award in the tyre category. That's not because the tyres we've picked are bad value, but simply because none offers a level of value we'd consider exceptional for the price.
The construction combines a Zylon bead with a latex-coated interior that addresses cotton’s typical air permeability issues to create a reliable tubeless option. Reviewer Matthew Page found the Ere Research Genus Pro CCX effortless to fit, inflating easily on both Ere and Cannondale wheels. Over two months of testing in diverse British conditions, reviewer George Hill found that these tyres delivered a consistently impressive performance throughout. While knobby tyres usually compromise rolling speed on tarmac, the Gravine Pro excelled everywhere, easily handling everything from fast road rides to muddy singletrack. The deep tread provides grip on softer surfaces and sheds mud effectively.
This durable casing and ample air volume smooth out rough trails, making for a comfortable ride. The tread pattern provides plenty of bite on climbs and in corners, and it’s stable enough to handle tarmac without a hitch. The rubber compound, known as ZSG, grips confidently in both wet and dry conditions, allowing you to stay in control even on tricky corners.
Despite their lightweight design, durability isn’t a concern. After 400km of riding, the tyres showed minimal wear and resisted punctures well. Installation was a little challenging, requiring effort to seat the beads, but once in place, they held air reliably. The grip is outstanding. The Magi-X compound kept Ollie steady, offering confidence in corners, even on broken tarmac. After over 1,000km on mixed terrain, including chipped roads and cobbles, there was only a small amount of wear, and no cuts or slashes.
