Good mileage tan wall tires that can do some light trail work (not downhill)?

[Savan]

Testimonials plz, looking for mileage optimized tan wall tires. The trails i ride locally i can pretty much handle on my analog gravel bike running 38s.

The trails are more fun on mtb but just giving some context for the tire demands. I'm looking for an emtb tire that is optimized for mileage and has a little bit of (easy) trail ability. I'll run separate tires for riding downhill chunky things.

maybe an XC tire?

Why narrow your choice to tan wall?
Depending on your Emtb's rim width you may actually be able to run exactly the same 38mm tyres your gravel bike has

Totally cosmetic reasons. It's a Levo and i'm thinking 38s on that would look pretty hilarious but not for me

I'm looking for a Tan Wall tire that I can run Tubeless.

It's for my wife and she said she wants tan wall!
35 rim. At the moment she has Nobby Nic's 2.6. I converted them to tubeless, but found that after a while they didn't hold air any longer. Put the bike in a stream and saw air was coming out of the entire sidewall.
The wife doesn't do downhill!

In that case just buy absolutely anything that "looks" how you want it to.

I’ve read that chunkiness has an effect on mileage so I am asking for recos for a tire that has shown good mileage and ok trail skills.

Rolling resistance affects range massively.
So just choose something with a lighter more supple casing, harder compound and close shallow dry weather tread patern.
Volume doesn't have as much affect as you might think. Especially when used at suitably fast rolling pressures.

Personally I'd ditch the idea of tan walls. It's only limiting your choice massively.
