Put 1000 + km on them, 90% on gravel and dirt roads, including riding D2R2. Not a light tire, but I found them to roll fairly well. They have good traction in everything but deep sand. And very durable. Not a single flat, not even any noticeable cuts in the rubber.
Ditto on the Continental Travel Contacts. I have two pairs in 26" size, 1.75 and 2.0's. Very durable and versatile tire. No flats. Also have a pair of them on a 700c bike.



Schwalbe Hurricanes are affordable and roll well. No flat issues with them, either. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...e/rp-prod36216


I recently installed a set of Continental Traffic 26X2.0 on my 92 MB3. So far, so good. Affordable tire, too. Got them on sale for $23 each.
