Conti sport contact 26x1.6. I just put a set on my new LHT and they're fantastically fast and grippy for a 1.6. I don't have too much experience with different tires though. I used to have a ss bike that had 23mm armadillos. These tires feel nearly as quick despite the width, but I have better hubs now too so I can't really be sure.
