What's the go to tyre for rigid bikes on the Tour Divide et al?

I'm looking for something durable, reasonably fast rolling, light, high volume and not too knobby for (hopefully) mostly dry trails. Specialized Renegades are meant to come in 2.3" (and I like the 1.95", apart from the lack of volume) but I can't find any in the UK.

Yep @platypus nailed it. Continental X-Kings, ProTection version if funds allow. Amazing tyres for this stuff. I ran 2.4s for Tour Divide, didn't need to swap due to wear, rear had done 3000 miles by the end of TD and did another 400 miles back home before it started getting punctures.

Continental X-Kings

Thanks, will get myself a pair of these.

Next question: holidaying in close proximity to Afan next week. Without car, so I think other trail centres will not be an option, but is there much in the way of non-sign posted local stuff in the vicinity?
