My minimal association is the escape published Continental publishes gravel tire study findings

I assume this is your reference? This all that I have seen. Perhaps this is available directly from Continental?

Thanks. I was hoping that EC had a source for the original paper, but yeah, I could ask Continental directly I guess.

@Ronan_Mc_Laughlin @Dave_Rome , any change you can give us access?

I am intrigued to see more of the study findings too, if only cause the graph shown in the Escape news article appears to show tyres in sizes that are not commercially available.

The chart also suggested they also only appear to have tested the gravel tyres. If that’s the case, it would have been much more interesting if they’d thrown in a Dubnital Race at one end and a 35mm GP5000 STR at the other.

According to Continental, casing type had little impact on test results. I would like to see the study in full, because in my eyes (engineer and bike nerd, but not tire engineer) casing means a lot.
