Winter road/ tour: has 38mm paselas which feel overkill.
That make sense as they're nearly 800g each.**Something like a Marathon Supreme maybe? you can get the 35mm that's a reasonable 440g, or even the bigger 40mm one at 490g*.
The Supreme roll very well with ample grip, the Paselas are great tyres but the thread pattern make it felt a little squrimy at times.
For a lighter tyres, amey mentioned the Kojak which is 330g for the 35mm, very slick tyres with thin sidewall that helped with the comfort.
@amey would like the 650b Supreme in 50mm (as well as 42mm).
*the 40mm is my recommendation as it offer both higher resistant to puncture (bigger = lower pressure = less likely to get cut up), lighter and feel a lots faster than the 38mm Pasela.
**Scratch that, misread the information, Pasela are 440-490g in the 37mm size.

Cheers, all interesting stuff.
Kojak sounds good. I must admit I was expecting you to recommend a compass in 700x32/34...
Not sure there's much point in moving away from paselas for tyres around 37mm, until the pair I have are worn out!
I would still be interested in hearing real world measurements of open paves w.r.t the road bike.

Ah gotcha. I have several bikes - trying to decide on new tyres for 3.
Road- has been 23, I'm considering 25
Commute- has been 28, will stay 28. Has been paselas, might get new paselas but open to alternative ideas.
Winter road/ tour: has 38mm paselas which feel overkill. Considering 32mm but not sure what to go for.
