Buddy has a new set of Gravelkings, and they have this odd greyish coating. Never seen anything like this. Anyone else?

Likely mold release agent
Ride them.
I wouldn’t touch those tires. If you get that white stuff on your hands you’ll lose at least 7 watts
Yep this is no big deal at all. I’ve seen it on tons of tires Panaracer makes
Yeah. Mine had them too. A few rides in some wet conditions and it will come off.
Worry less, ride more. Then it will be gone.
You should just go ride them.
Mold release. It’ll wear off.
Ridden a few GKs now and they all do this. It’s a wax they have on them from factory. Couple rides and they’ll be gone.
Normal
New GK have the tubeless milk on the outside
I used like 3 sets of this tyre. Its normal, it will disappear in few rides.
