I have a Giant Escape 3 and I'm just looking to expand its capabilities a touch. There are tons of dirt or gravel trails around here that are well traveled so there's no need for a serious dirt bike or tire, but the smooth commuter tires on the bike now are not up to the task of even compacted dirt. So I'm looking for a mellow to moderate gravel tire, im currently running 700c 38s. Decent wear is a plus, but I'm not opposed to swapping tires when I'll be riding just pavement. Also I'm hoping to stay around $50 a tire.
thanks!
