Best tires for street + dirt mix on the FXS?

i've been running my Zero FXS mostly around town but lately I've been tempted to take it off the pavement and hit some light trails. The stock tires feel fine on the street but I don't think they're giving me much grip once I roll into dirt or gravel.

Kinda still new to electric bikes so I'm not sure what the best balance is for tires that can handle both street commuting and weekend dirt rides without wearing out too quickly. I don't want to go full knobby and lose comfort on daily rides but I also don't want to slide around on loose stuff. What tires are you guys using on your FXS for that street/dirt mix? Anything you'd avoid? Not sure if using stock in trails are okay.
 
I swapped mine for Shinko 705s and they held up well on pavement and light trails. Not full knobby but way better grip than stock when you hit gravel or loose dirt. Are you riding mostly dry terrain or does it get muddy where you go?
 
I run Dunlop Trailmax Missions on my FXS. They last long and handle pavement well but still dig into gravel. You will feel the difference right away. At least for me, that was the case.
