Review: Schwalbe G-One | road.cc
If you can fit the Schwalbe G-One tyres in your frame, you should get some. As genuine all-rounders they're impossible to beat right now: fast rolling on tarmac and properly capable off-road. They're really, really good.

Maxxis Rambler:
Maxxis Rambler Tire Review | Gravel Cyclist: The Gravel Cycling Experience
The Maxxis Rambler is my 40mm gravel tire (tyre) of choice. They are tubeless ready – yes, real tubeless! – no messing around, easy to mount, roll fast and corner with confidence.

Review: Maxxis Rambler 700 x 40c Gravel Tire - Light and Fast
Maxxis calls the Rambler’s tread a “gravel-specific tread pattern,” and so far, we’re liking it on gravel and dirt roads, trails and grass. Don’t be surprised if you see one of us also racing them when it’s dry this cyclocross season.
