Of course, I just keep a pair of worn knobby tyres that have become
slick in the center section.  I rode them yesterday.  102km with 36km on
gravel roads.
 
Is this really new?
 
I don't think so.  Maybe new to them.
 

Indeed it very much looks like some of the more street tyres for MTB’s
you’d see in the 1980’s and so on!

UK gravel being what it is, ie MTB lite for most part, semi slicks or even
tyres with minimal tread aren’t wildly useful, I had some Pirelli H Gravel
tyres that where really quick but naff all traction would wheelspin up even
fairly tame stuff.
