These are great. Add a bit of weight, but the wider tire rolls well on pavement, asphalt, gravel and dirt.
Those original 38c LT2s were prone to slip on turns while on gravel. They have a nice reflective stripe that looks good too.

Also changed to 700x45 Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS Wire on my 8.5, same size and reflective stripe, since 2015, and agree with Donlaw's points.
