I love how light and smooth these tires are on pavement, and they were pretty good on steep big-rock gravel roads in the Hell's Canyon area. No flats, which was amazing. In spite of biggish rocks, did not bottom out or hit rock to rim even once in about 30-40 miles.Tread material is soft and not too durable - with only 500 miles, little bumps were gone from rear tire and center of front tire. After gravel experience, several visible cord spots (12-dime size) lead me to believe this tire really isn't made for gravel. Bike Marin Gestalt3, wheels Mercury G1 wide 30-mm carbon, rider 6 feet 170 lbs, psi 50 rear, 40 front.

3-Star Disclaimer I attempted to run these on a winter commuter (adventure) bike. They are NOT suited for commuting on the terribly maintained shoulders in the Portland metro area. In 800 miles I had 9 flats, both tires have several significant cuts (two that require a boot), and the tread on the rear tire is already squaring off. I would have some doubts about these as gravel tires seeing as how poorly they fared, but it could just be that they don't get along with glass at all. And that I've had a run of really bad luck too.
They are very comfortable, grippy and predictable (wet and dry), surprisingly lightweight, and roll fast. I think if you just want a fast comfy tire that you could take on trailsunpaved roads they'd be pretty dang good. But if you're looking for something tough and long-lasting, I'd look elsewhere.
