Donnelly's EMP gravel tire is a game - changer. Named after the airport code of Emporia, Kansas, where a well - known soul - crushing gravel race takes place annually, this tire breaks away from Donnelly's typical tread design. Instead of a clear center strip like most of their other tires, it has a tighter tread block pattern. It's engineered for fast rolling, a must - have for long - distance gravel bike races. Plus, its larger side knobs offer better control during aggressive cornering.
Features:
- Smooth - rolling center knobs and aggressive shoulder lugs for a balanced ride.
- Soft rubber compound that provides extra grip and shock absorption.
- An integrated puncture protection belt under the tread keeps you worry - free.

Using your Donnelly EMP Tubeless Gravel Bike Tire is easy. First, make sure your bike's rim is compatible with tubeless tires. Install the tire on the rim and add a good quality tubeless sealant. This will help seal any small punctures while you're riding. When riding, you'll notice how fast it rolls on gravel roads, which is great for long - distance races. And thanks to the large side knobs, you can take corners more aggressively. As for maintenance, check the tire pressure regularly. A proper pressure ensures a smooth ride and reduces the risk of flats. Also, inspect the tire for any signs of wear or damage after each ride. If you see any cuts or excessive wear on the tread, it might be time to replace the tire. Keep the tire clean by washing it with mild soap and water after muddy rides. This helps maintain the performance of the soft rubber compound and the puncture protection belt.
