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.
Netakure-
I've used both extensively and agree with you, in my experience the gravel h are more durable and marginally easier to set up tubeless. Also feel slightly stiffer in terms of casing, which counters the added weight of a bikepacking setup, although I have tryied the Pirelli in 40/45 and the Vittoria in 33/35, so not a fair comparison

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.
