I was using WTB Ventures previously, but as I've got sidewall cut, decided to switch to these. They have much much thicker sidewalls, I believe it's their "hardskin" feature so they look and feel more sturdy. They roll quite good on the tarmac, but not as good as Specialized Pathfinders Pro (was using them before) but they have an advantage on gravel. They mount easily, was able to pump them without any sealant when I was setting them up. They run on lower pressure. Recommended - 38psi Max - 50psi, (compared to Specialized as an example, I was running them 90psi, on 50psi they were starting to feel wobbly). Holds air pretty good (pump them up once in a few weeks). Long story short, I've done around 1000 Km with them and they feel good, roll good. I wish they were bit lighter, but for such price, I think they are a really good bargain.
Product Details
Hutchinson Touareg Gravel Clincher Tyre
When designing the Touareg Gravel Clincher Tyre, Hutchinson drew on both their road and mountain bike tyre heritage to make the most versatile product possible. The tread pattern uses small blocks that are spaced closer together in a chevron along the centreline for lower rolling resistance along with more widely spaced shoulder blocks for cornering grip off-road. Additionally, the side knobs are paired up to save weight and they run partially down the sidewalls to add strength. Hardskin reinforcement adds resilience against punctures and the tyre can be used tubeless or tubed.

Do these work with hockless rims?
Hi Anki, I'm afraid these are not listed as hookless compatible, https://support.sram.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050355593-What-tubeless-tires-are-compatible-with-Zipp-s-hookless-rims- Many thanks Joe W
