This is my current go to tire. It rolls well on asphalt, works well in gravel and will even tolerate some dirt.
As most dual purpose things it excels at neither, but it allows me to go where I want with my bike. Sometimes when I get on a particularly smooth road, it makes a humming sound and makes me feel like the guy driving his Jeep on the highway with off-road tires. Of course, as long as the Jeep is actually driven off road too, it makes sense (many of them are all muddy and that makes me smile).
