The Peak is Goodyear’s most aggressive gravel tire, sitting in a compact range alongside the virtually slick County and the intermediate Connector. Even so, it’s still a pretty standard-looking tread pattern with small, closely packed knobs along the center line and larger, more open lugs on the shoulders. This design gives decent rolling speed on tarmac or hardpack but still offers cornering grip in looser, off-road conditions. The tire’s profile is more rounded than that of a mountain bike tire, giving a smooth transition between the center line and the shoulders.
It’s at the knobblier end of gravel tires, “with widely spaced blocks to aid grip and forward drive in wet or very loose conditions” according to Goodyear - perfect for year-round UK use then!
