40c Tires: Current State of the Art?

[Delish]

It's been a hot minute since I bought CX tires and its boom time for 40c+ gravel offerings. What's the new hots?

Looking for something that rolls ok on road but works well in a CX-bike-as-a-MTB situation. Something that would rip at 6 mi, but that you wouldn't curse on the ride back home. WTB Raddler? something from Compass? Soo many choices.

For reference I've been using a Kenda Happy Medium 40c for this purpose and I have no complaints. They're cheap, roll pretty well and have a surprising amount of grip. Might just get another set of those but what say you?

Vittoria Terreno Dry. (edit...these are 38's too)
Specialized Tracer Pro, but that might be a 38

I have Terreno Dry in 38. As I recall they seem not to have great traction on steep stuff. Also the side knobs are not confidence inspiring. Maybe I’ll give em another try

Switched from Schwalbe G- One all around which had been go to for years to the Conty Terrra Speed. Really like these and would buy again.
