Been riding the new Specialized Pathfinder TLR (45mm) on my Diverge for about 2 weeks. I've tried the Pathfinder pro (38mm) and Sworks (42mm) in the past. However, this new pathfinder 45mm feels light and faster rolling than the the pro and Sworks, especially on wet tarmac and light gravel. The middle and side knobs seem to have enough grip to keep me upright even on shallow muddy trails.
Perhaps I'll change my mind after months of riding, but for now these are my fave all-round tires for road and off-road. Relatively cheap too as far as nice gravel tires go.

Did you notice the difference in the lower TPI casing? That’s the only thing keeping me from buying the updated tires.
Waiting for my set to arrive, hopefully early next week! Should be a big upgrade from my stock Giant tires.
