The T-Servs seem to be the ticket with the high PSI and much lower weight then the Randos.
Another vote for Panaracer T-Servs....32's or even 35's........also Panaracer Urban Max.......similar tire, much cheaper. I think I have gone through about 5-6 of these tires. Light, fast, puncture resistant, and good on many different surfaces and conditions.

Didn't care for the Rando's..........harsher, slower, and sidewalls cracked in about 1 1/2 - 2 years.
