    The Michelin anakee is awesome, but pricey. I have Avon gripsters on my 08; very affordable and they stick really good. I'm the same as you; 90% road, 10% off. Not sure on how long the avons last yet, but they're really good so far after 3000 kms

    Have a look at the Kenda 270. I rode 8,000 kms on a set of these this past summer on the Trans Lab and East coast.

    Deals Gap and Tatham gap in 2010.

    They're great tires.

    If you want to ride a gravel road only and never take the bike offroad, go with Kenda 761's.

    I also like the Avon Gripsters. My rear lasted me from Vancouver to Mendoza, Arg. (26,xxx km's) and only changed the front in Africa to TKC 80's. They are great for hard pack gravel but will suck in soft sand and mud. Dualsport Plus had them at a fair price when I bought.
