Oddly, only in 700x33 and 700x38, no 35mm
I also have some gravelking SK’s on my all weather commuter, also made by panaracer. They do make a 35mm version, and at least when fresh they are visually smaller than 38mm panaracer paselas, though they will stretch a bit.
It is pretty hard to find smooth fast tires in that size. Paselas might be your best bet. You can get them with and without the puncture strips.
Second the Shikoros. I use them on my Wolverine and as summer tires on my Tamland for riding around Chicago; they are smooth, relatively quick and offer pretty decent puncture protection (knock on wood). I am always amazed how much the Tamland's ride is changed when I switch between them and the Clement MSO's that came stock that I use for winter.
