The LongHaulTrucker w/ Schwalbe Big Apples or Marathon Supremes makes a cush, sturdy, dependable commuter, for sure.....more or less almost ignore the road surface and surprisingly fast when up to speed.......

Also, the Straggler, PSA, in another thread, with 700c wheels, disc brakes, etc., would make another ideal setup for commuting in all conditions.
Could still run Big Apples, Supremes, or Continental Travel Contacts in 37's.

Perhaps these, just haven't tried them yet, myself....
Cruise CONTACT


Size does matter!


The brand new Cruise CONTACT combines convincingly comfort with light running and safety. The extraordinary suspension due to a large air volume and the dynamic profile convey a safe riding feeling even on uneven roads.
The tried and tested tyre composition of the Contact-family with its fine nylon carcass and a safety system breaker is responsible for its fastness and protects from breakdowns.
Voluminously enough in the dimensions 50-559 and 50-622 to show off its design qualities and still fits securely into most frames and rear constructions. The Cruise CONTACT reveals its optimal properties at an operating pressure of 22 to 36 PSI.
