Reading through Carl’s report makes me think that his breakdown is based on the local terrain. 55mm tires are quite large and I would definitely put that in the adventure category over gravel, but he is also in Montana and they may be a gravel tire out there?
Out here in rural NYS I haven’t really found a need for anything over 48mm with 650b and often a 42mm 650b or 35mm 700c with get me through anything I end up riding my gravel bike on. If I was adventure riding on unknown terrain I’d ride my hardtail or 29+ rigid. I would consider 28-32mm=allroad around here as it would get me through the dirt roads and hard pack gravel without any issues.
