I've run all of those tyres to an extent. I have no real qualms with any of them (Panaracers are very supple and can be hard to fit if you don't have a good tape job). I mostly used Horizons on road and things like Chiltern Ridgeway. Panaracer SK+ I used with no issues at Badlands and Ventures I still have kicking around - I think there's one on the wheel I replaced with dyno front wheel. They stood up to some abuse and obviously offer a bit more grip than Horizons.
Basically any of them will be fine on what you're riding - you just adjust your speed in corners or accept a bit of slip in mud accordingly.

Looking for options for a next build in 650x47B, and hesitating between three tyres:
They would be used with tubes at the moment, and my riding is mainly road of various condition but still paved (probably 70% of my riding) and light gravel similar to us fire roads (probably 20-25% of my riding) but with occasional paths with bigger stones and debris or very easy singletrack (probably 5-10% of my riding).
I don’t want a tire that would feel to difficult to ride on pavement (say as a mtb tire), but I don’t want to be limited in the routes I am taking by my tires if they are only road-focused. Also, would appreciate if the tire is reasonably puncture resistant.
Today I think my need and my riding might point toward the horizon, but wondering how the venture is overall as it seems more grippy and more durable. Anyone tried one or the other?
Would like to try wtb as I already tried tires from panaracer (albeit another model), unless everyone say go for graveling sk.
Cheers!
