I just swapped from Thunder Burts to Gravel Kings on my Functional bike, as I'm doing more road on that bike at the moment. They feel fast but they are skiddy, accidental whip skid when I came round a corner and was faced with an approaching car on a narrow country lane a little while ago. I am not dead but yikes!

I'm finding mine pretty skiddy as well. Limited traction up dusty/dirty stuff out of the saddle and on the road when I jam on the brakes.

(Mine are 700×32 though but I assume same compound and all that)

I've got 42mm Grand Bois Hetres on another bike. They are great, feel plenty fast enough for me, very grippy and sure-footed. I'd like to try the Compass equivilant but the Hetres are taking ages to wear out, plus Compass are $$$
