Maybe they will let me know soon.

SCHWALBE NORTH AMERICA got back to me and they recommend:

"J B;
The tire I would recommend for you is the Marathon 2006. It is our
touring tire and comes with a snakeskin sidewall that helps with
durability as well as a Kevlar belt to help protect against punctures.
I believe it will work with your rims but you may not be able to go up
to the highest pressure rating. If you have more questions please let
me know."
