Teravail Ehline 29″ X 2.3″ Tires: Checkpoint
A great all-around tire here with good gravel potential. It does fall off a bit at the extreme end where gravel is loose and deep, but otherwise the Ehline seems to strike the best dirt-to-gravel balance of the three tires looked at here.

Hutchinson Kraken 29″ X 2.3″ Tires: At The Finish
The Hutchinson Kraken tires would be my choice in a situation where I lived where dirt trails and/or mountains were available to ride, but my bike had to pull gravel road duties as well.
