Hey ya'll. I recently upgraded the stock Axis wheelset on my Elite E5 to Roval Terra Cs. Now I'm looking at upgrading the stock Pathfinder 38mm tires to something wider and more gravel-specific, i.e. no smooth middle strip, 45-47mm.

I ride tubes, please don't try to convince me otherwise. I typically only ride in dry conditions, but it's not uncommon to encounter some wet and buttery stuff here in the Pacific Northwest. I don't race and am not particularly concerned about high-performance in terms of speed. Just looking for a dependable all-rounder that is puncture-resistant, offers decent traction, and won't break the bank!

What recommendations do you have?

Bike noob here. I've got a Diverge Elite E5 (12mm thru axles). I'm going to upgrade from the stock wheels (6 bolt rotors) to Roval Terra Cs. They take center lock rotors and I'm fairly sure those should be internally serrated given my thru axle width -- can anyone confirm?
