Schwalbe Overland
These are excellent btw, as long as you're mostly off road. They're a bit sluggish on pure road.

Just came back from a trip to spain on similar sounding mix of terrain, used gravelking semi slick +, 700x43 and they were really great, handled road and rocks pretty good

Hutchison Tuareg (not sure what size, I had 650x45)
GK SK+ do 700x50 (used these for Badlands)
Still using a Cinturato M that won't die. That's in 50mm too but I think it's 650B also.Missus has 700C Schwalbe Ultrabite in 2" (50mm) that seems good and a Terravail but that's only 47mm I think but no issues with either yet.

I've found the gravel H lacking bite in loose corners . The terreno dry seems more reassuring.
I've only tried both 1 ride and none was my bike so maybe there was more factors involved. -
Mmm. I also liked Mezcals in gravel size if that helps, decent grip, surprisingly fast in tarmac. They don't stretch very big.
Got terra speed in 45c now. Fastest gravel tire yet, but fragile -
I have a pair of Overlands with <100km use. I’m swapping to something more mud ready so let me know if you want them.

Planning a bikepacking trip in the Dolomites and trying to pick a tyre that would work well for a loaded bike, covering anything from dreamy tarmack to rocking single tracks. For a similar trip last year I went with 700x45 front and 700x40 rear. Will try to add 5mm to both and see if I can squeeze them into the frame.
Current tyre choice options:
Possible other options:
Any other that should be considered? Durability needs to be considered as much as rolling resistance. This will be a summer trip, so dry conditions expected.
