In my quest to find the ‘’perfect’’ gravel tire this season, ERE research reached out for me to test their products. I did not know that brand and I was intrigued about it.

About the Tenaci TLR
The open tread pattern of the Tenaci tire offers maximum traction and at the same time, allows for excellent mud-shedding capabilities. This prevents your tires from filling up in muddy conditions to ensure a safe ride.Starting at 34C, fitting to most bikes, and going all the way up to a firm 44c tire.
I tested the 38C which is a size I find versatile. Does the Tenaci do what they say? Let’s find out!
My goal was to find a fast rolling tire that could do it all. From stone dust to heavy gravel, the Tenaci handled it all pretty well when the surface was dry. I wouldn’t use this tire in mid to heavy mud since it loses grip pretty easily, but I had no problems in light mud with this tire.Under really dry surface I inflated the tire at 45 lbs and it performed flawlessly with a narrower contact patch. When the condition required, 40 lbs was a good all arounder.
In conclusion
After riding and racing on them for 1000 km, the Tenaci TLR is a great choice for a capable fast rolling tire at 99$CAD.
