Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

I have been quite happy with the plain Schwalbe Marathon (with GreenGuard) in 26X1.5 (or 559X40mm). Wire bead, not too expensive.

I also bought some Vittoria Randonneur Pro folding bead tires in the same size to carry as a spare, but I have not installed them so I can't offer an opinion on them. At this price I might buy one or two more. If you keep your quantity down, the shipping cost is reasonable, put one more thing in the cart and shipping skyrockets.
