Once you get above the 700x40 size, very few multi-surface tires are to be found. His bike can fit a 29x2.3.
I have a Montercross bike that can fit a 700x50 plus fenders. This bike is also my severe duty bike for winter, trails and heavy loads.
I'm using a 700x50 Marathon Supreme, this is a faster slick for pavement and easier paths & gravel.
I'm also using a Schwalbe Smart Sam knobby for wet trails and gravel.
I would consider the Schwalbe Big Apple or Big Bens if I had a Fargo. The other tires listed here are well liked also.
