I agree; they were great for light off road riding. The only thing I didn't like is that they were very thin under the tread. I was constantly picking thorns out. However, with some tire liners, they'd be great.

If I do end up getting a hybrid or gravel, I will probably seek out some WTB Allterrainasauras (or whatever they're called now). Years ago, I had these on a Bianchi Volpe and they were fantastic. The Volpe was too heavy and clumsy though. It also had awful toe overlap.
