[RBW] 47-50 mm 650B street tires. Which have you tried and liked? Tried and Disliked?
I'm currently enjoying the Compass Switchback Hill. I use them on paved and unpaved county roads. They are light, smooth, and have minimal rolling resistance. I have used the EL version on our gravel roads with great success. They are expensive, but are basically the best tires I have ever used for my application. Fortunately, I'm a small fellow and I tend to get a reasonable amount of miles out of them before they must be replaced.

Hi Chris, I can only comment on the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 26x1.6. I was very happy with these tires during my TransAmerica tour in 2016. I think I only had 2 punctures, once in the front and once in the rear. The rear tire had most wear but it did not require replacement for the whole 4,250 miles trip.

[RBW] 47-50 mm 650B street tires. Which have you tried and liked? Tried and Disliked?
I've been looking to move from 700c to a smaller wheel size for several years, with my initial plan to go down to 26". I've been watching the new tire market and have decided 650B is where I'm going to have the best options so that is now my plan. My riding is pretty much 100% pavement, hard packed dirt/grass and maybe some maintained gravel roads. I did some research today and came up with a list of slick to semi-slick tires in the 47-50mm range. I'm interested in people's experiences with these tires, both good and bad. I know Compass are highly regarded but some of these I've heard very little about and a couple I've never heard of.
