Voyager hyper bad in rain?

I was running Vittoria Voyager Hypers most of last summer on roads / gravel but they became lethal when the rain arrived so swapped them out for GK SK's for the winter.as I didn't think the Non SK's would be much better than the Hypers off road when it's wet.

You haven't said what the max width you're looking for ??

Some other suggestions but they may be wider than you're after ..... Terreno either Wet or Dry, Specialized Crossroads ( friends running these on a Hybrid and he's bloomin quick on the road and copes with gravel / light mud), Hutchinson Overides.

Be interested to see what other suggestions come up with.
​​​​​I've roo Voyager Hyper on my touring bike on toda gravel bike oaths (great Allegheny passage and c&o trails) many thousands of miles and also daily on my work computer and find them excellent in the wet. I'm a wide tire guy though, so maybe that's the difference. Can you elaborate on your experience with hypers?
