Are 38c tires good for gravel?

“MTB riders may say they like the comfort, and all-out traction of a wider tire. Both will likely gravitate back to a 38c for gravel use, once the dust settles. Some of this has to do with weight and contact patch size, while the comfort effect of the air volume also is a factor.”

No! 700c is not a size for wheel nor tires. 29″ (ISO size 622) is actually the same rim diameter as 700C, although most 29″ tires will not fit 700C road rims because they’re too wide. 29″ tires are popular with mountain bikers; search for 29″ MTB.

Is higher TPI better?

Threads Per Inch (TPI) The number of threads that cross through one square inch of a single ply of the tire’s casing. Lower TPI gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire.
