Tires
I have a anyroad comax running the stockers. They seem to do pretty good road and dirt gravel mix... but I’m doing some dist sportive events and thinking of getting some new faster tires for the road.
Any ideas? 28min not sure what max is for the anyroad? Maybe 35? I was looking at sport g+ / 4000 II / gatorskin. Roads are descent so don’t need a lot of “puncture protection” with that said I’m not about every ounce of weight and no puncture protection either. Just a tire with good rolling resistence and no knobbies

I like the Vittoria Voyager Hyper tires.

I believe it is discontinued as they use to have 32mm and 38mm sizes, but only 35mm are left.

I’ve ridden 700x32 Gatorskins with no problems even on gravel. But not hardcore! A combination of pavement and gravel they are OK. Determine the dominate terrain then choose the tire you like. Smooth will be faster sitting on the side of the road fixing a flat even with CO2 will slow ya down 
seriously determine what is best for the route you want to ride and choose accordingly. I ride for fitness and Schawlbe tires will do. For gravel grinding WtB 700x40 Nano Raptors are great, basically a small MTB tire but on the gravel bike hard to beat.

The usual, GravelKing SKs. Ignore the knobs. They roll as good as a slick, but have way more traction.

Gatorskin tires are like riding on garden hoses.
Conti gp ii are awesome, but limited to 28mm. 28mm measures out to 31mm though.
voyages hyper were mentioned. Awesome tire. I have 37mm on my touring bike. They are fast. And dirt cheap at planetX.

My 38 (40) GK SKs run quieter and feel faster on pavement than my 37 Voyagers... I don't get it. With the Voyagers I also did way too many unintentional skids.
