I would choose a tire that is low at the bottom of the hill and high at the top of the hill. Can't go wrong that way.

It would be more helpful when posting a question if you would use a descriptive subject heading, instead of just 'question'.

You would probably find my Tires Article https://sheldonbrown.com/tires useful.
