Hi
I do mainly knocking about on tarmac cycle paths but occasionaly go through forests on gravel tracks what Americans call fire roads I believe .
I have a Trek fx3 with 700c 32 on it and it's perfect has a little tread roles over tarmac almost like a road bike but will cope with the grit.
I have just got hold of a giant roam 2 as secondary bike ( because it was very good deal) but it has 700c 40 on it and very knobly proper cross trail of road tyres
I want to change these to something more all round still some tread and puncture proof but tarmac friendly .
After suggestions,thanks in advance

If you mainly cycle on roads then watch this Youtube video. Just to understand whether you really need a gravel bike.

sorry - couldn't resist.
Sophia asking for which tyres to put on a giant Roam not buying a gravel bike?
If so, they are fine for the road. Just up the pressure a bit and away you go.
And it all promised so so much”
