New 26' tire discussion

Hello group - I searched 26' tires topics and the last one I found was 2009 or so. So I thought I would reopen the subject to ask for current model/brand preferences from those of you who ride a tandem that uses 26' skins.
We are running Conti Sport Contacts in the 1.3" width, 85 psi max. I find them quite unremarkable for our 280 pound team on our Burley Rock n Roll set up for the road. The bike is a heavy, lower performance sled, but it fits our needs and style of riding as a team pretty well. We ride exclusively weekend club rides in the 30-60 mile range on average to ugly pavement. Weight is not a real issue, nice solid ride is. Hoping for some ideas from the forum. Thanks!

Henry
