Michelin road 3 trail

Had to Google, as I had not heard of those yet...under a rock I guess

Site claims they are the same tire pattern as the Road 3, but, in sizes for the GS.
If you want a road only tire and have not ridden a 3, they are great. If you do any loose stuff or mud, they will become slicks. I say that after taking a few PR3 road bikes down some muddy/loose surface roads
That said, if I was going to use my GSA totally on pavement...I'd give these a shot in a heartbeat.

personally, i would look for a tire that can handle that expected 5% of off-road, along with the unexpected "gee, that looks to be an interesting route" or "map said this was paved, but they did not say it was under construction for the next 15 miles" scenarios.
i like Shinko 705s. whole lotta bang for the buck, with upwards of 7K miles per.
