Honestly a look through that list still only leaves me with one decent 650A tire choice. It seems pointless to me to ride a 23-25mm tire in this size, and the 35-37mm ones are all garbage except the CDLV. OK, maybe the Conti 650Ax37 is decent as well but I wouldn't want Cheng Shins or Kendas or Schwalbe
