I have had good luck with Conti Top Touring II tires. (The "Top" model being the key.) Foldable and come in 28, 32 and 37c. If you are not planning anything rougher than something like the Katy Trail, 32c should be fine. I am not light and don't pack ultra-light and had no trouble with 32c on a cross-PA tour that included the entire GAP trail. Rode the 37c size in MT last year on some very rough, hilly/mountainous roads with no problems.
