No way I'm putting an 800g tire on any bike, including my FS 29er.  For 
reasonably-light 26" tires that are cheapish, look for Maxxis DTH (assuming 
more gravel riding than rocky trail) or Schwalbe's excellent DJ tire, Billy 
Bonkers.  The gravelkings are also good but skinnier than I'd prefer.  
Panaracer Comet is also a good relatively lightweight tire.  You can save 
money on all of these by going for the wire bead instead of folding.

+1. I've used the 60s in both 26" and 29er sizes, in both regular and
"extralite" -- saves 100 grams, 800 gr versus 900 gr for 700C -- and for
their price and their weight they are very good; they roll well (for their
bulk and thickness). But not much sand traction, tho' I liked them for
all-round pavement/sand riding. They are amazingly puncture resistant.

[RBW] 26” MTB Tire Advice

[Bones]

I recently pulled my wife’s old Cannondale F5 hardtail out of hibernation 
with the intention of moving it along, but she now has a renewed interest 
in it. It cleaned up nicely, but the tires are falling apart. It looks like 
it can comfortably fit a 26x2.25, but I haven’t used a 26” tire since the 
early 90’s so I don’t know where to start. If anyone can point me to to a 
decent all around trail tire that doesn’t break the bank, I’d greatly 
appreciate it.
