I bought a second set!
I bought a set of 700 x 40mm for my Diverge to go on the standard Specialized wheels. So now I have them on both my wheel sets, 40mm and 47mm. Both sets are tubeless and fitted easily using just my thumbs. They are grippy, roll quickly and very fast on the gravel. They are also really comfortable, and seem to float over the rough surfaces.I am experimenting with low (for me) tyre pressures but they go well on 40 psi to start with. I intend to experiment with lower pressures later. No negative points - I love them!

Mine fitted easily
Bought these in 47mm as the maximum size for my Diverge. Fitted onto Hunt wheels with just my fingers, having unfolded and aired the tyres in my living room overnight. I am running them tubeless at 40psi on and off road. They are very comfortable, and on the tarmac roads they perform well, feeling very lively . They really fly on gravelly tracks and former railway lines. Lots of grip on wet leaves. No downside really - I would buy them again.

Brilliant
Currently run 3000 miles on the front tyre in 700-35 (600 of which on rear wheel) with only one puncture (after 100 miles!). Ran 2000 miles on the rear 700-35 tyre (600 on the front). Have a 700-33 on the rear which has run 1000 miles and just about worn out. Have done mainly tarmac, a bit of light off road and recently some really brutal off-road gravel, which did punish the rear tyre. Amazing grip on loose road surfaces (the country roads I normally ride are pretty sketchy) and light off-road. Low rolling resistance is brilliant even with 700-35. Yes, they are tight to fit (compared to mountain bike tyres), even on UST rims, but if you fit as per the instructions and take it carefully they are no worse than 700C road bike tyres. I will definitely replace with more Power Gravel, and will try 700-40 to see if they last even longer.

Power Gravel - Pure Brilliance
I've been running a mixture of 33mm and 35mm Power Gravel on my gravel bike since 2018. Mainly winter road work (rough roads around here) with gravel and pure off-road as well. Wore out the first 35mm at 2048 miles run, still have it's partner on at 2048 miles. Fantastic grip on loose gravel paths or piles of gravel on the road and handles really well on plain tarmac. My ideal winter and gravel road tyre.
