Don't know about the Bridgestone, but I found the Sirac to be a good
compromise between durability and gravel grip. Can't agree with Sture
about being lost on gravel, but maybe that was with Sirac on both front
and rear? I use a T-63 in front and a Sirac at the rear. The grip (on
gravel) is similar to Enduro 3, but the life time seems much longer on the
Sirac, about double on my bike.

Enduro 4 is a street tyre, so it's probably more appreciated on the
continent (tarmac) than up here in Sweden (lots of nice gravel).
