My dream tire would be a hand made Silk casing tubular
with a 32mm width,
but then I have to wake up and see the broken bottles, and let it go.

I like Schwalbe's Marathon Plus for it's puncture resistance,
albeit a heavy tread as a result.

Continental Travel Contact is their adventure touring tire, broad and slick center
with a row of knobs for unpaved paths on the edges, only in 622-37. or 559-47.
feature their gator-skin mesh sidewall reinforcement.

My 26" wheel trekking bike came with them on it , still lots of 'tread' left
when I swapped them out..
