Pirelli CINTURATO GRAVEL H Tubeless Ready

Installed these on a OEM set of Giant rims and the improvement is real. Installation was a breeze; clean rims, some soapy solution, and a blast from a homemade air pump (aka a garden pump sprayer) and they seated with a satisfying POP POP at about 30 PSI. On the bike, they’re quick, grippy, and hold pressure better than any tire I’ve ever used. For all-around specs, I can’t find better value or performance. Can’t wait to get them on a proper set of rims. Just spectacular!

rationale -needed a street worthy off road tire for a new steel gravel errand runner/commuter. really debated which tires to get after LOVING the M Cintaruato's on my one carbon gravel bike. have Vittoria Terreno's on another gravel bike and am digging them as well. it came with Kenda Flintridge, which were competent, and have had much love for Kenda Small Block 8s but they only went up to 38 once upon a time. also considered IRC Bokens and almost got them but for the higher rolling resistance. read review after review. love the darker brown sidewalls which match the bikes more classic look, and they're Italian, like the Cinelli bike they are on. arrived in excellent shape from the distributor and Pirelli seems to pay attention to detail as far as construction - even lines and smooth seams inside and out.set up -harder to set up than the Cintaurato M's on Hunt carbon aero wheels but in general a fairly easy tire to mount and seat with 12 volt GY air compressor. used 2L of Stans in both tires. the front needed a re-seat b/c it was a bit off, but once seated it has held air properly. the M's are mounted to Shimano GRX and kept inflated right from the start. these have required a lot of babysitting. both were losing air every other day and the rear is nearly flat by the next morning. may need to remove to sort it in the even it's a large cut i don't see.riding -i would not go so far as to say the ride is supple at 40mm wide, but it is quite comfortable and removes nearly all road vibe installed on carbon rims. they have decent dirt traction, go fine over roots, but get lost in deeper mud. was fine crossing streams, and really shine over any size gravel i hit. these let go in wet paved corners at speed so i now slow up for curves. by far, these are the lowest rolling resistance off road worthy tire in the stable. am considering another set to replace the Terrenos but only b/c they're a 29x2.1 and am just wanting a smaller tire width in that bike for speed reasons.the M's have resisted flats the past year of commutes, MTB, and gravel. i expect the same out of the H's given the only real dif is the tread design.

I switched to these from 35mm schwalbe g-one all rounds. I assumed they would be slower with a bigger size and more rugged tread but they are in fact noticeably faster and more comfortable.They were challenging to get on the rims (I’d say impossible with brute strength and regular tire levers) but then I went at them with a kool stop tire bead jack and had great success. If you are struggling with getting these or any tires on your rims I would recommend adding this tool to your collection. They were simple to seat with a regular floor pump and sealed instantly.

I was a Rene Herse die hard, thinking nobody could make a more versatile gravel tire. This is a better tire. Rolls really fast, I've used them on road rides without much penalty. Grips pretty well on dusty loose gravel. At 140 miles into a 155 mile gravel race I heard the horror of sealant spraying and a large nail had gone straight into my rear tire. 3 or 4 revolutions and the tire had sealed up and I didn't even stop. I found the entire nail inside the tire the next day but was able to keep riding. Comfortable, durable, fast. Good tires.

Just bought a second set. After 3 years moved first set onto my wife's flat bar bike and she is very comfortable riding on gravel and mixed surfaces for the first time. Ran them on a Boon 5 converted for gravel. Most of my rides averaged about 40 miles and close to 5,000 ft of climbing. Always felt solid going up or down the slopes. About 60% dirt sand and gravel the rest hard top.With practice, mounting is easy. It's all in the thumbs and getting the bead down in the wheel well which makes it possible to mount without leavers!

My first tubeless tires Pirelli, made in France. Watched a video from GCN, got the muckoff single use pouch and the muckoff valves. Used nylon tire levers to mount, inflated before adding the fluid to seat the tire beads, the beads popped, then removed the valve inserts, squeezed in half of the pouch per tire, reinserted the valves, inflated and test-rode. Not a single drop of fluid wasted, no mess, 5 minutes per tire. According to the GCN video in 6 months I should add some more fluid. I am a convert to tubeless now! Next up my road tires…Update a few months later: the tire kept on loosing pressure and no matter what I did it didn’t work. I replaced the tape several times. I was wondering whether it was the rim (DT Swiss) so I installed a Schwalbe and a WTB tire and they both sealed perfectly. Although i liked its performance on the road and trail, I cannot trust the tires on long rides so I took them off and will be used in case of emergency. Took off 2 stars.

Muy buenas

Dieser Reifen hat gar keinen Schutz. Glasscherben drücken sich in den Mantel rein. Keine Möglichkeit diese wieder zu entfernen. 4 Platten in 3 Monaten an unterschiedlichen Stellen. Ich rate von dem Kauf ab. Ich würde diesen Reifen noch nicht mal geschenkt wieder nehmen

These tires seems to be worst to me, not worth the money. Driving them around Skandiavia with tubes, I hat 4 flat tires at a distance of 1.500 km.Never hat such problems with ohther brands.One more time flat :(In theory I‘d like to give them back.At next EuroBike fair, We have to talk Pirelli!

Ho atteso qualche settimana , prima di esprimere un parere .. premetto che sono un cicloamatore, ma quando salgo sulla mia bike , e mi dirigo verso le montagne , prima di scendere devo almeno avermi fatto oltre i 100 km .A mio parere la mescola è ottima .. buona tenuta ... ma poca gomma quindi dopo circa 1000 km di asfalto , ghiaia, terra battuta , le piccole tacche al centro del battistrada sono diventate un miraggio ...
