This tire is billed for gravel, and seems eminently suited for it. I am concerned, though, that when you buy the tire, on the label (in five languages no less) is the note: "Recommended use: Paved Use". The tire is either intended for paved use, in which case label it as such on the web site and in descriptions. Or it's intended for gravel and multiple surfaces. In which case, delete the cowardly disclaimer. Don't try and have it both ways. Stop letting lawyers write your usage recommendations.
As far as performance goes, I haven't seen a better multi-use tread than the Pathfinder since the old Kenda K835, which was primarily an OEM tire that is now vanishingly rare and was unfortunately never made in 700c. Happy with my Pathfinders, though I wish the gravel diamonds were more agressive.
