SILCA built a tire pressure calculator to answer what happens when conditions change mid-ride, and the Protocol RCG-3 tire carries that same question into the tread itself. It leans on a puncture-resistant casing so a single set of tires can hold up across a course that shifts from hardpack to loose gravel without warning, and its balanced tread geometry keeps handling predictable through those transitions. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I run the RCG-3 on courses I haven't pre-ridden, since I need one tire that won't punish me for guessing wrong about what the next mile looks like."
