The Byway Road Plus tire allows riders to find comfort on remote gravel roads without being slowed down on the pavement required to reach them. Staying true to its road usage, a slick centerline borders angular hatching to keep everything smooth on sections of pavement. Intermediate, diamond-shaped peaks provide steadfast traction under power, while consistent and more substantial knobs extend down the side to protect it against ill-intentioned rocks or gashes while exploring new areas.Road Plus TCS: Sealant optimized lightweight casing with folding TCS aramid bead and Dual Compound DNA rubber.

Happy with the tread - it's exactly what I wanted for my gravel bike ridden on mixed surfaces - but it's not really tubeless-compatible. When installed as a tubeless tire with Peaty's sealant and Muc-Off tubeless valves, it would hold enough pressure for a short ride, but then go rim-on-floor flat overnight. When hunting for a leak I found that air was seeping directly through the tan sidewall - I could watch each little patch of foam grow as air leaked out (the bubbles are not coming from the valve, any spoke nipple, or anywhere along the bead - only directly through the tan sidewall). I doubled the amount of sealant and allowed the tire to rest on each side overnight in the hopes that it would seal the sidewall, but it still leaks, and on closer monitoring I discovered it will lose 10 lbs of pressure in a 1-hr ride. I'd like to think this is a fluke - a one-off problem with this particular tire - but I had the same problem with the first Byway I bought at my local shop (I just really wanted matching tires front and back).

tl;dr Good tread pattern for mixed-surface riding but don't expect it to actually be tubeless. WTF, WTB?;

Really fast gravel tire. Not made for fast cornering, but you can’t have both cornering and speed in gravel tires.;

Sus características son perfectas para un terreno mixto. Recomendado, además, las paredes laterales funcionan muy bien, no se filtra líquido tubeless en lo absoluto;
