If yer only want to ride gravel & seal roads tyre choice is easy..

Forget knobleys..dosn't matter how big the knobs are they won't grip on lose gravel... you need a tyre to cut though the lose gravel into the hard base..
then the tyre has to have enough surface contact to grip on the hard base..
Go for a narrower 120 "460" tyre..
Have a look at the Shinko 700 are my tyre of choice for everything apart from mud / wet grass... they work well on anything hard/firm...
