Thanks for the suggestions. I would lean toward a tire near the same size as I already have on it to reduce the pinch flats. Ultimately the best of both worlds for me would be a tire with a bit of tread but a solid center stripe for the road, but would still offer stability on the crushed limestone trail. Mostly I ride on the roads and the road tires that are on it have been ok. I can keep up with the slow group in the local club, but I have to work for it. I've been thinking of just changing tires to knobbies for when I ride the local rail-trail.
