Tire choice for winter bike (road + gravel)

Hello,

I plan to use my Triban RC520 disc as a winter + gravel bike and the stock tires don't suit this application at all so I'll need your help . Maximum size width announced by the manufacturer is 36mm but some guys manage to install 40mm on it. Here is a dedicated topic:
https://thesweetcyclists.com/widest-...triban-rc-520/

I'll use this bike:
- in the wet on paved roads of all conditions (including smooth tarmac), cobblestones and up to grade 2 gravel/ compacted dirt paths -> https://cyclingtips.com/2021/03/grad...road-surfaces/
- in the dry on bad/ worn paved roads, cobblestones and up to grade 3 gravel/ compacted dirt paths

I'm looking for (in this order):
- a lot of feedback from the tire (feel)
- grip in the wet
- as low rolling resistance as possible/ performance
- comfort
- puncture resistance

I plan to run tubeless. Do you have any recommendation for tires that would suit this application?

Many thanks
