I tell customers everyday that tread makes no difference on road/hybrid tyres, but most of them still want something with tread. I'm obviously not persuasive enough. Compound, profile, pressure all matter though, obviously.
Panaracer RiBmos tend to last me around 6 months of twice-weekly polo, but I don't skid too much. They are mid-weight, I'd say.
Does anyone know of a 26 x 2.3" that weighs around 500-600g? There are a few mtb tyres around that weight/size, but I can't find anything slick...
