The Goodyear XPLR Intermediate is a high-performance gravel tire developed specifically for Zipp’s 303 XPLR, S, and SW wheelsets, forming a system engineered to optimize speed, comfort, and control on mixed terrain. Unlike traditional road-derived gravel setups, this tire-wheel combination takes a ground-up approach, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency while addressing the harsh vibration and fatigue associated with gravel riding. The XPLR Inter’s optimized fit to Zipp’s ultra-wide rims allows for lower tire pressures, increasing compliance and grip while preserving rolling speed. A tightly packed center tread minimizes rolling resistance, while pronounced side lugs deliver confident traction through corners and off-camber sections. Built for dry to mixed conditions, it excels in versatility and speed over varying gravel surfaces.

The tire’s lightweight, 120 TPI casing offers a supple ride feel, while M:Wall sidewall reinforcements guard against punctures and pinch flats, making it suitable for aggressive and technical riding with reduced air pressure. The Dynamic:UHP rubber compound improves traction and reduces rolling resistance, ensuring efficient power transfer and confident handling. Dual Angle Beads and Tubeless Complete construction guarantee secure retention on Zipp’s 32mm TSS rims, simplifying setup while enhancing safety. Available in 700x45mm (575g) and 700x50mm (600g) sizes, the XPLR Inter is engineered exclusively for use with Zipp’s 303 XPLR wheels. With a listed weight of just 525g for the XPLR Inter variant, this tire delivers a precise, high-performance solution for gravel riders seeking maximum speed and confidence across unpredictable terrain.
