I found the Siracs to be good for both road and mild off-road use but the Distanzias are brilliant on road and the Annakees are good on rocky gravel off-road. Road tyres are probably very similar on most roads, tarmac or concrete, but off-road tyres are very specific for muddy, snowy, grassy, gravelly, rocky etc. You need to check what sort of off-road riding you will do, they are different. Jasext said it very well in another thread when he asked what sort of off-road do you want to do - small blocks to cut through grass, larger blocks to grip and to shed stones etc.
My three sets of wheels are shod differently depending on what I am going to ride because it is quicker and easier to change wheels than to change tyres on the wheels. The investment in extra wheel sets is worth it if you need the different grip that different tyres provide and you save money on not using quickly wearing tyres on the wrong surface.
