Finally, something I feel qualified to answer! My touring friend had the Horizon Plus and was pretty happy with them, but struggled a bit on singletrack/bumpier gravel roads, especially when it was wet with slippy rocks/roots. The Venture Roads gave that tiny bit more confidence off-road (could've been psychological, who knows) and were perfectly fine on-road.
I'm not sure about your bike handling skills but as always, YMMV.
Thank you for the feedback! I think I’m leaning towards the venture as they seem to have more grip, with good rolling on road and good resistance from what I can read, which seems supported by your comment. Thanks!
