I bought a batch of 32mm specialized Borough Pro folders a few years ago, hard wearing, brilliant puncture resistance and fast rolling IMO, if you can find any, buy them.
I run them only on the rear with a 25mm gator on the front. As i'm around 105kg + up to a 15kg load on any given day the spesh gives me plenty of room for increasing pressure without losing so much on comfort, without a load of any note i try run it around 80-85, with a heavy load closer to 95, the gator runs at 90 usually and 100 with a heavy load bearing in mind that the load in the panniers is mostly going to weight over the rear wheel so the extra weight doesn't fit the 45/55 model given by Berto.
Once my current gator is done I'm swapping over to 25mm Schwalbe Ultremo DDs as I bought 2 of those on closeout as well, they're identical to the gators in inflated width (24.5mm) so looking forward to see how they perform (or not!)
