Franck,

Try either the Continental Grand Prix; see some details at URL:

or the Avocet Fast Grip City; see some details at URL:

I have tried both of these tires. They are both high quality and very low weight and low rolling
resistance.

I like Specialized Fat Boy tires, 26 x 1.25", rated for 100 psi. Not too expensive, no useless tread
pattern, and they seem to have low rolling resistance, although I have no measured data. Don't know
if they're available in your country.

Vredestein S-licks get good reviews.
