Gravel Grids

[Whiterose]

Can anyone recommend a brand of the above to give us a more secure ride and parking site on our pebble drive, and if so, what is the ideal depth to go for - some are 25mm others are 40mm.

In my own humble opinion I really don't think such a tyre exists, the biggest issue is the weight of the bike. Having a different pattern would still have a similar profile, dropping pressures and re-inflating when you hit the tarmac may help.

Erm....

Thank you Rusty Nuts for helping out with picture. What brand is that one, have you got a link?
I hope TLPower isn't too embarrassed.

Just the first pic I found in my haste to embarass a senior hent. I think it was Toolstation. But I'm older than TL, so I forget stuff and make mistakes.

  what an idiot I am.

Read the question before formulating a reply.

We used to have a driveway as you described as well, we had it removed and replaced with Indian stone.

I'm sorry.

No problem TLPower, we had a little smile here.
Indian stone is great alternative, more expensive and they need a better base, but well worth thinking about.

Being careful and trying not to embarrass myself, have you googled the item, searched on E-Bay and Amazon?
I was looking for some a few years back (didn't buy in the end) and found plenty of information about them and installing them. At the time I was looking at the 40 - 48mm deep ones, just because a heavy(ish) van would be parked on them and I thought they'd be better, no other reason.

Hi Barbel Mick
Been trawlin' t'internet all last week, read reviews till I'm sick of looking at them, visited a few local builders merchants and been dreamin' about 'em till they melt and turn into fiendish plastic blob on our driveway. 

Thanks for info about grid depth, it all helps.

 ......sometimes you just have to go for it, or not, as in my case.
I think the sub base will be more important than the depth of the grids. If that's solid they shouldn't move. All depends on what you intend to drive/ride or park on there.
