oh, i've got the folding ones at 325 grams apiece and about $30/pair. I stocked up too. Got two pairs in the parts bin, plus the ones on a bike.
Look, Schwalbe makes the touring tires par excellence: Marathon Supreme, Almotion, Mondial. I would not stray from Schwalbe. Marathon Racers are still available in 406. I would look top those.

Which brings us on to the fact that the tire
has been discontinued, with no apparent direct same-size replacement from Schwalbe in sight. It would seem that the only options for a quality replacement from the same manufacturer is to either size down to 1.50 or size up to 1.75. Continental don't even offer 406 tires altogether. Hence my question about the Tioga.
