For a Compass tire-ish like ride (plush and smooth, without built in flat protection) while having knobbies, Thunder Burts (less aggressive lungs, slightly better on asphalt) and Racing Ralphs (more aggressive lugs, better in mud, snow, and loose, a bit noisier on asphalt but still quite smooth) are excellent options. Racing Ralphs are my Hunqa's tire for coming up on two years now, after a year with Thunder Burts.
