I will say that Bontrager H2 26x1.5 tires are CAKE to mount up. However I can't comment on how they feel or durability. I put Serfas Drifter 26x1.5 tires on my 90's MTB/utility bike, and those are HARD AS HELL to mount/dismount. I've broken a couple of tire levers mounting those things. But other than that issue, they've been pretty bullet-proof.
