Challenge Strada Bianca or Paris-Roubaix are not hybrid tires. They are marketed to the gravel crowd but they ride very nicely on the road. I should know because I ride them.
I have a set of Clement X'PLOR USH for when I'm on gravel or light trail use. I need a set of road tires for when.... well... I'm on the road. Lol.

The truth is after spending a crap ton of money on the Litespeed, I can't afford to have more than two bikes. One mountain bike and one for everything else. So I need two sets of tires for the Litespeed.
