20 Best Gravel For Dog Run (2023 Updated)

My purchase is exactly like the picture. I am very happy with it. I am happy with all my purchases, you guys never disappoint.

After doing a lot of online research and reviews, I decided to try out the 700c x 40 Continental Terra Trails. After one ride I can say these tires are pretty awesome. They seem to roll pretty good on asphalt and hard packed dirt, and gripped going across an off-camber grass hill, and didn’t slip in the gravel.

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with gravel tires, but I can say these feel great and I’m a lot more confident on these over the stock skinnies. Now my only little gripe is that the tire pictured doesn’t match what I was sent.

This is purely aesthetic and has nothing to do with the performance of the tire. I like the look of the “Continental” and “TRAIL” printed in yellow, but the tires I received were printed in all silver, giving it a cheaper look IMO.

Initially I thought I was sent old stock, but don’t know for sure. Maybe Conti changed the look and this is new stock. Don’t know. If you’re going to ship either version out, then you should put a picture of both options or say that in the description.

Anyway, it’s a great tire that you can feel confident riding over any terrain.

The two 650 X 42’s I bought weigh 420 and 428 grams. I was not sure about which model to try – the Terra Speed or the Terra Trail. These Terra Trail roll extremely fast and are very smooth, with good cornering grip and decent straight line traction on steep, slippery surfaces.

The ride quality is very good, perhaps due to the high thread count of the casing in conjunction with the Black Chili compound. I run them tubeless at 26 psi front, 28 rear (I weigh just under 150 pounds).

I ride smooth gravel, pavement, rough 4wd roads, all dirt roads and the occasional bit of rocky singletrack trail. So far these have performed well under these conditions, with no flats so far. I am glad I went with the Terra Trail instead of the Terra Speed, as I prefer to have a the larger side knobs for better grip in the corners.

I’ll take the slightly higher weight of the Terra Trail for more versatility as compared to the Terra Speed. They do seem to lose more air overnight than other similar tires I have tried, but there is no noticeable loss during 1 to 5 hour rides I typically do.

It would be great if Continental could add more 650 sizes, such as 42 or 47.

We recently swapped out our most excellent Schwalbe 30s for these 38s in anticipation of being on crushed gravel during an upcoming “cross-country” tour with our 2015 Co-Motion Speedster tandem. We carried loaded panniers – front and rear – including electronics (2 laptops and a Nikon DSLR).

Our route took through the metro twin cities, beyond Hutchinson, and then north to the Lake Wobegon Trail. Based in Avon, we made side trips to Albany and Holdingford, finally pedaling to Big Lake to take the Northstar Commuter into downtown Minneapolis – about 300 miles over the course of a week.

The Cannonballs provided the stability, ride, and control you would want when hauling the equivalent of a week’s groceries 50 or more miles a day, day-after-day, on surfaces ranging from rural gravel to new pavement.

The tires proved to be everything we hoped they would be – so much so, we’ve decide to leave them on over the winter (and maybe skip the studs).

5k plus miles on gravel, bunch of tires tested. Here are my thoughts on this tire: Pros: The tough version (what I bought) is indeed tough and hard to flat. Holds air well set up tubeless. Cons: Tough to seat tubeless, I tried every trick and finally took it to my excellent shop mechanic.

He remarked that he had a tough time as well. They feel really slow, rolling resistance feels high. I lose 1. 5 mph on my usual route. They ride harsh. Every surface imperfection is amplified. Long story short, very disappointing.

Taking them off tomorrow and tossing them in the bin. Bike is night and day slower, harsher, and less fun to ride.

This tire has been fine. I was worried by the reviews I had read, only to realize that there are two versions of this tire by the same name, one is ‘heavy duty’ and the other ‘light weight’ or something like that, and the REI site doesn’t distinguish them.

I bought it IN STORE, and it didn’t quite match what was shown online. I realized that all the bad reviews were of the ‘light weight’. I don’t remember the details, but remember having an ‘ah ha’ moment that gave me confidence to go ahead and buy it.

Its been fine. I put it on a rim that other tires were unstable on, but with this tire it was fine. It has been sturdy over sharp gravel and even some patches of broken bottles. knock on wood.

I do like this substrate, but the description should be corrected. I require specific sized grains for my use (not aquariums), and this is not the 0. 25-1mm as in the description. As you can see in the images I uploaded (centimeter side of ruler), the grains are more like 2-4mm on average.

An occasional piece reaches 5mm, but not much more. An estimated 2-3% fell through a 1mm seive. There was minimal organic debris that was easy to wash out (floated) after 3-4× rinsing, less than 1/2 teaspoon in a 5lb bag.

No significant dust or odor that I noted. I can still use this substrate for a slightly different purpose and am not unhappy with it, but the description is misleading. **Either uploaded images do not appear in previews of posts or I am unable to post a photo, either in the app or on the website, despite photo meeting size requirements.

Hello everyone, This sand is easily the best quality sand I have ever used. If applied properly there will be absolutely no water cloudiness, No air bubbles, and the sand is a great soft quality. I have purchased sand from other chain stores, which gave me doubt of buying more sand.

I’m so glad I found this sand. I do recommend pouring the water in a bowl to not mix up the sand with the water. ALL of my fish love laying/playing in the sand. I received great customer service and fast shipping.

I now only use Chewy to purchase items for my aquatic friends. I have this sand in four tanks currently and have a 85 gallon that I am trying to set up with it. (the water coloring is from tannins from the drift wood, I currently only have betta tanks lol) You should really try this sand!!!.

This substrate is beautiful and natural looking. I changed from regular gravel to this substrate. It is thicker than sand but thinner than the painted fish aquarium gravel you can buy at big chain stores.

It is heavy enough to vacuum without sucking up a bunch. It is light enough for natural roots if you choose to plant live plants. The fish love it. Most of all, the water clears up in no time as compared to 3 weeks of the colored gravel still causing the water to be cloudy.

This is a fantastic product and there are many different color selections to choose from. It also came very quickly. I did rinse the product pretty good just because I was already fighting cloudy water from the other stuff.

Overall, I love this stuff!!!.

It’s a rock. Volcanic rock is a rock formed from lava erupted from a volcano. In other words, it differs from other igneous rock by being of volcanic origin. yes it comes from a volcano and now resides at the bottom of my fish tank.

I would highly recommend this to any of my fish friends.

Didn’t buy this for an aquarium, but it’s perfect for what I wanted it for. It’s larger than I thought it was and for a great price! I’ve been looking for a larger sized lava rock and places want a fortune for a rock.

This was a great budget option and exactly what I wanted!.

This rock needs to be rinsed before being placed in your aquarium or it will get dusty and crumbly in the water. It’s heavy and does sink quickly. I have a circular air stone that i simply could not get to sink and stay so I got annoyed during setup and just plopped this rock on top of it to hold it still while i finished setup.

I liked the way the bubbles moved around the underside of this rock and came around the edges so much so that i kept it there in the end. It looks really cool.

Great mix terrain tires. Relatively low rolling resistance on tarmac and surprisingly grippy on (dry) gravel and forest roads. I use these tires on a road bike (Canyon Endurace CF SL) for rides on mixed terrain.

When mounted on 22mm internal diameter rims the tires measure exactly 32mm wide. I run them tubeless, however setting them up tubeless was quite a hassle. Even with an air compressor the tire beads did not pop onto the rim.

What worked for me was leaving the tires sit overnight with tubes in them inflated to max pressure. When taking the tubes out, I left one side of the tires untouched leaving the bead in sit in the rim.

When remounted, I managed to “pop” the other bead on the rim with a track pump (valve cores removed from the tubeless valves).

I previously ran 35mm Schwalbe G-One Speeds, wanting something a little wider, with more tread and hopefully better puncture protection, I checked out the beautiful tan wall Panracer GravelKing Semi-Slick Plus.

Fitting them was not easy. Whereas the Schwalbe’s I was able to mount tubeless with just a normal track pump, for the Panaracers I huffed and puffed with no luck. To mount them I had to insert tubes, seat the tyre, then take out tube whilst keeping one side seated.

Luckily my Airshot arrived and it was easy from there with a little help of compressed air. Once mounted, they felt a little more slugish than the G-Ones but that’s to be expected. They ride well on tarmac as well as dry gravel, and *touch wood* I’m yet to get a puncture.

All in all, I’m pleased with my first foray into Panaracer tyres, but be warned, fitting them was an absolute nightmare on Hunt 4season gravel disc rims.

My wifes hybrid bike came with pseudo road tires that are iffy when it comes to taking mildly sharp turns on concrete or asphalt. After reading many reviews, I settled on the 700x35c Gravelking SKs. Installation was relatively easy and painless.

The GK SKs are fairly light and weigh 150 grams less than the original mounted tires. Even though the tires are tubeless-ready, I decided to mount them in a tubed configuration. Maximum air pressure in a tubed setup is 75psi, but I chose to inflate the tires to just 65psi, hoping this would be a benefit to ride comfort and improved traction.

One item of note: After mounting the tires to the rims and inflating, the tires calipered at just over 37. 5mm, which is 2. 5mm wider than Panaracers stated specs, so be sure to check your clearances before deciding which size to purchase.

With the new tires installed, my wife immediately felt a difference in the way her bike handled when cornering. She said the tires never slipped and quote it was like someone put sticky glue on the tires.

I took the opportunity to ride her bike as well, and I was very impressed with the way the side treads grabbed at the road surface. Handling provided a real sense of confidence and rolling resistance was just as good as the tires that came with her bike.

The more my wife rides on her new tires, the more she likes them. Now, shes actually looking forward to the time when we will start going out and doing some gravel/hard-pack riding at our local state parks.

Panaracers Gravelking SKs are a quality tire at an affordable price. My wife and I highly recommend them!!.

Yet to use the gravel in the next few days. Was expecting the gravel to be white but it was a white mix which will do that’s OK but you don’t specify what colour in your on line catalogue. I actually specified white.

The goods were well packed and arrived undamaged. I will be happy to buy from you again and recommend you to my friends.

Have used this pond gravel before so knew what to expect. Wanted all plants to be gravel dressed the same.

Really like the decorative effect of this gravel. Looks good in the planters around the pond.

Looks nice in the tank and holds plants down well. I gave it a rinse before adding it to the tank and virtually no muck or dust came off it.

Good stuff, it’s black gravel…don’t really know what else can be said about it. Looks nice in the tank, conceals the aquatic soil and anchors the plants. Not really much else to get excited over

Ace Hardware photo shows colorful bag of pebbles. They are not. These were going to be the base of a fairy garden and all they are plain dirty rocks. Big disappointment.

I puchased this to put around my raised garden beds. Love, beautiful & nice to walk on too.

This phone case and handlebar mount system is awesome! It’s so nice to pull my phone off quickly and grab that shot. I was able to catch an eagle and a deer in the same photo. I have tried every smart phone mount out there on my bicycles and none has allowed me the ability to quickly grab my phone and know that it is completely Secure while I ride.

I highly recommend this product and am buying one for my husband and my brother.

Item arrived intact, was an easy install. The only issue is that if you have a case that you like for your phone, you’re going to have to change to one compatible with the SP Connect. Not really a problem – easy to change over when I get on the bike.

Just something to think about. The phone cradle holds the phone securely – I’ve gone over some mild jumps on my MTB, and no problem at all. Highly recommend it !.

I give this product 5 stars for the build and sturdiness it has. Also for the one click on and off feature. I have no worries about my phone coming off. I give it 4 star’s because it only comes it black.

I do not want my phone in a black case, I have to remove it every time I ride. Inconvenient to have to switch my phone case out each time. The company needs to offer different colors.

I bought these as my first set of winter weather tyres, my summer set were proving to be useless in any slop. I cant say the EXT went up easily tubeless , they were very hard work but once on the rim using a tube to seat them the rest went very quickly.

I have used them on road , gravel and mud and they have impressed me so far. I was suprised how well they roll on road , thicker mud of slop is good too , a bit slippery on surface mud but not as bad as my summer tyres.

They hold air well with no side wall leaks too. I went for the 38mm and they look narrow , although I haven’t measured them I considered buying the next width up but didnt want them to draggy on the road.

Now to sea how much road wear they take between the off road sections but the rest I am pleased with.

Overall I’m pretty happy with these tires. I run them on Fulcrum Racing 6 wheels, tubeless at 20psi and they come up at 38mm wide. Installation was a little challenging. They were easy to fit onto the rim but took a while to inflate.

I had to use the trick of inflating with a tube to get it to sit on the rim. Then deflating, carefully removing the tube whilst leaving one side still set (half the job is done). It still needed lots of soapy water and a boost pump but after half an hour of watching it blowing bubbles it eventually gave up the fight and inflated.

Sealant added and since then they have been perfect. Running at between 20 and 30psi off-road on gravel and single track they perform really well in dryer conditions. Not sure the tread will be enough in the mud but lets see.

Bought the 38mm versions, I don’t see the point in the plus versions if you’re running tubless save yourself the pennies, these are nice and sturdy. There FAST and I mean FAST on the road you’re not really giving up anything to the GK slicks I run them at around 40-48psi depending on what I’m riding which is a good compromise cushion and rolling resistance.

And considering how shallow the knobs are (product photography is a little deceiving) they actually grip really on the loose stuff. They come up bang on 38mm after a day on 19mm internal rims and expect them to get a little fatter.

What more could you want? Extreme? these will be my do anything tiers and they’ll stay on.
