38mm Kenda Kwest tires somehow managed to get me thru 10mi of hardpack/soft dirt/gravel/loose gravel roads on Saturday. I didnt go fast around corners though, since I was on gravel roads and that just doesnt seem safe no matter what tire I have.
You're missing most of the fun of gravel roads! I agree that a 38mm Kwest is going to be a slow tire on corners mostly because it hasn't got much grip on loose surfaces. But I also suspect that my "slow" is very different from your "slow". I always let gravity have its way with me.
