Well-done on going off road. I did a relatively bad gravel road once. No damage to the bike, but one pair of drawers had to be thrown away...
Knobby tires for a 500+ lb bike are not going to help much, lol.
I always put street tires on my GS's for years and years, still rode them off-road. There was no difference. Over 40K miles on an R100GS, only two sets of the original Pirellis and from then on, Avon Roadrunners.
Rode about 15 mile of pretty rugged dirt road on my Hawk GT 647 once too. It's the low CG that does it.
