Schwalbe g-one? I commute on my 700c version and just ordered some 650b*2.8” for my wife, they do come narrower as well.

Looks like they also come in 35mm and 40mm in 27.5. I ride the 700x40 and it’s comfortable and fast. They don’t wear as well as some other tyres though.

budget? width?

Gravel king
HS315
Marathon Supremes
Kojacs

I've been using Gravel kings 1.5" tubeless with few complaints, but some people hate them.

hi, thanks, the Marathons are about £60 so i think I'm looking around that but maybe lighter weight?

I really like WTB Horizons if you're broadley staying on road. They roll pretty well and are comfy too - and they come in tan wall!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
