Faster tires for a hybrid bike?

Hi, Does anyone have experience with Continental "Contact" or "RIDE" style of tires? I currently have the Cross King CX 32mm on a 700C rim on a hybrid bike. https://www.continental-tires.com/bicyc ... ss-king-cx
I'd like to get faster tires if possible. The idea is to lose the knobs and have the tires more narrow, to get the speed. I'd still like tires that perform well on small gravel, dirt and perhaps softer surfaces as well. Comfort is important too.
I'm likely looking at a 28mm tires based on what's available from Continental's and what I've heard about 28mm tires in general.
Does anyone have recommendations on a City/Trekking tire that might meet my needs? https://www.continental-tires.com/bicycle/tires I'm also open to other brands and suggestions, thanks!

They're bloody quick tyres and the fact that they're 35mm will mean their comfy and handle looser surfaces well. Only issue is that they're hard to find and Planet X only have brown ones left.
If brown isn't too your taste then Conti Sport Contacts are cheap and cheerful:

My set of GP4000s did ~2400 miles approx June-October inclusive last year in the South Downs lanes, from memory, I think I had no more than two punctures.
700x28 Continental GP 4 Season are pretty good too, they measure ~29mm wide, bit more puncture protection and only a little slower than the GP4000s.

I would say in my experience they're better than 4 seasons, the only pair of which i ever had didn't hold up very well at all

All fairly light and high TPI (so should be fast rolling) various knobblyness.....
If you're going above 33c the answer is generally always vittoria hyper voyager.
