Back in the summer i fitted Michelin T63 for a few days on gravel. It worked pretty well for me. The bite is also ok on tarmac and i just take the roundabouts a bit easy in the cold and wet autum weather. Besides the first weekend ride most has been commuting. I've done ~5000km on them and the rear is down to ~5mm so not much use off road.

I've only had T63 on my old super tenere once. They only laster 8750km when it lost some of the knobbies after highway riding.

I think my next time tire will be a road tyre. Thinking of the Heidenau K60 since i do very little offroad and in my experience it ok on firm gravel, but not in loose or on the beach.
