I am using conti Grand Prix's. Very fast tyres, very good handling. A
[censored] to fit properly and may not fit you rims. (a little bit too
narrow for mine tbh but i just about get away with it..)

Vredestein S-Licks. Extremely grippy, wear out fairly quickly on the
back but you should still get over 2,000 miles from a pair. Almost
puncture-proof.

Schwalbe City Jet.

Bugger .. forgot to say what I use, they are also Conti GP's .. small world
... 😉 My rims are a narrow width so I have few problems fitting them. I
just use a different wheelset when truly off-roading or racing .. 😉

I always second Pete's recommendation of these. Nicest tyres I've ridden bar
none. Astoundingly good value too. Especially since my LBS had them on offer
at a pair for 15 quid.

what rims are you using with the contis? My rims are worn out so I will
use whatever you are using!

Schwalbe Stelvios are screamingly fast but a possibly a tad fragile. I've
got S-Licks on my MTB at present, which are pretty nice, and a Specialized
Fat Boy on the back of the Speedmachine. But that's only done 14 km so far,
so comments are not yet available.

Mavic 237 559 x 17 is what's marked on the rims .. 😉 I believe they were a
reasonable rim a few years back, when I got them, but they're a tad worn
now, and probably due for replacement as and when .. 😉
