I've used a couple variants of Vittoria's Voyager tires and enjoyed them a lot:

700c x 32 mm Hyper, folding bead, 120 TPI. Great, fast, light, supple, easy-mounting tire. I don't think they make them in 26" sizes, as far as I could find just now.

26 x 1.75 inch regular Voyager, 30 TPI. Pretty much the same as above, but a bit heavier and a bit less supple. I rode this bike just a couple weeks this summer when visiting my family in the USA.

Unfortunately, all information on the Voyager series seems to have disappeared from Vittoria's website, at least in English. I really hope they haven't discontinued the series, now that I found my favorite tires... Maybe that's why I got such a good deal on the Hypers at something like 25% of the normal price...
