    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.

    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 .. 😉
