The GKSK's are very good on pavement. I recently did a couple (road) rides on new GKSK 38's..they really do feel much like a road tire...roll very easily. I run GK slicks on all my road bikes.

I have Hypers on my touring bike(35s that measure at 37mm). Wonderful tire on the road and dry rail-trail limestone. However, as soon as that limestone gives way to damp dirt..which in Wisconsin has a high clay content..it feels like riding on a skating rink.
