Connector Speed tire delivers fast-rolling grip for high-speed gravel racing
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I run the Connector Speed on my race-day gravel setup and it’s ridiculously fast on hardpack. It feels like a road tire with just enough edge grip for loose corners and chunky transitions. It’s the tire I trust when the course is fast but unpredictable."
When we’re gunning for a podium on gravel, we reach for the Goodyear Connector Speed. Engineered for all-out pace across hardpack, dirt, and the occasional paved connector, this race-ready tire pairs a semi-slick center with aggressive side blocks for an unbeatable blend of speed and cornering confidence.
Goodyear's lightweight Race casing keeps the ride supple and snappy, while the advanced Dynamic:UHP rubber compound delivers low rolling resistance and serious durability. Tubeless Ready construction lets us drop pressure for improved comfort and traction without risking flats. Available in widths up to 50mm and two sleek sidewall options, the Connector Speed keeps us pinned and smooth when it matters most, whether that’s a gravel crit or a 100-mile sufferfest.
