I am currently liking the Panaracer Ribmo, rather than the Gravel King, because it's "slicker" less tread, but still works on dirt or hard-pack gravel, and I'm riding mostly on the road, paved or not. I really wanted to like the Ultradynamico Rose Race (the grey ones) because they look so cool, but running them tubeless was a disaster; i could never get the tan sidewalls to stop leaking no matter how much I tried.
