What's a recommended road/commuter tyre that comes in 26/27 mm? I think I can fit bigger than 25s but maybe not 28s.
For absolute puncture protection there's a 700c x 25mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus. But they're heavy. (I have them on my commuter/utility bike.)
For a sportier tyre still with some protection for commuting/audax I used to get ~5k (front) and ~3k (rear) out of a 25mm Conti GP 4 Season, but there was the occasional puncture, especially once they were nearing their end of life. (I used the folding version as they were lighter as they didn't have a wire bead.)
Weights:-
- 700c x 25mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus is listed as 595g
- 700c x 25mm Conti GP 4 Season is listed as 230g

Panaracer do some 700c x 26mm tyres. Long time since I've used them though.
