I'd suggest Panaracer Gravelking 25c for that. It's supple, comfy, and very adept at fast pavement while providing a light file tread for a little extra grip on loose stuff. I used the 23c on a Lemond road bike for hardpack dirt roads for a couple of years, and quite successfully. I currently have 28c and 32c on two other bikes, because they're great, and affordable, all-'round tires.
