You've maybe answered my question..
Have a lovely 650b wheelset not being used that has some worn knobbly tyres on.
Anyone riding mostly road or London commuting on 650x47c tyres? Watching some WTB Horizons on eBay..but open to recommendations.

They are absolute dog shit for anything other than road/broken road/crush/towpath, Just don’t go with the light supple one if you ride the last 2 the most. On real roads they are great, not the fastest, but they don’t wear out and aren’t mega draggy.

I did. With Horizons on the Tripster. I liked them. You can go super low pressure... right up until they fold over on you cornering. I went to more knobby tyres (not the for commute) simply because I was using it off-road.

I also did with horizons, commuting for 18m (due to lockdown) and for all road riding for about 2.5 years. I didn’t love them in the wet commuting, but apart fro that fine. Very few punctures that needed attention, easy to set up tho needed a decent load of sealant at first. Could also look at teravail rampart, g one speed.
The larger tyre does feel quite different to a 30mm road tyre.
