On one bike I use Kenda Kiniption, 26 x 2.3. I run them at 80psi and they are good for a comfy ride. On my trucker I run conti sport contact 26x1.6. These feel as close to 700x23 race slicks as any tire I've had. The centerline is reinforced but the sidewall is pretty soft. I ride on paved streets/trails for the most part.
In the winter I run mount & ground 26x1.9s. I hate these tires in the same way I hate our minivan. It inspires no love, but does exactly what I want it to do...prevent me from slipping on ice. This winter I may try some Schwalbe winter tires, but I have no real reason to switch since the M&G are still running strong after 4 winters.
