This is the only gravel tire i have ridden besides a Schwalbe G-one (only a few times on these). Fast on pavement and fast on packed-fine gravel. Good on dirt and rocks. Good in wet conditions. Not good in mud. Overall a very good and durable tire that does not have good mud performance. I would say the rubber is a medium soft compound - when i first got them they were real pebble chuckers.
