recently bought a gravel bike
its an orro terra c 105 (gravel bike with road gears)

its main use will be a winter bike with the occasional off road use
whats the current thinking on tyres?
looking at the Schwalbe G-0ne 35c (tubeless), want something fast rolling but i do understand thats is not going to be a fast road tyre (have my summer bike for that)

what do you guys think?

I use these. https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Panaracer/GravelKing-Semi-Slick-TLC-Gravel-Tyre/RUE2
Why?
1. durable, no punctures. The last thing you want in the winter is to be fixing punctures in the cold and wet.
2. easy to ride off road in dry conditions
therefore can be used all year round.
I've got the 32mm size - they aren't fast but that's what a summer bike is for. They've lasted forever and they were pretty cheap to buy. I don't faff with tubeless.
