Can anyone recommend a quite wide 27.5 gravel tyre? I'm doing Torino-Nice rally next month and lacking a suitable bike I'm borrowing an Isen G.O.A.T. which currently has massive proper mtb tyres on it. Which are great offroad, but TNR is about 50% road so I need something a little more multi-purpose while not being too skinny (I presume anything too narrow will look ridiculous plus possibly not fit on the rims).
Looking at 'G-One Bites' in 2.1 (from Schwalbe's incomprehensibly large tyre range) or Gravelkings in 1.9? Or WTB Byways?
Would welcome any suggestions of things I've not thought of. I don't care about being hugely fast, but would like something that isn't too terrible on road.
