Re: [RBW] Need 700x45C recommendations, please

The WTB riddlers in 700x45.   Roll really well and decent cornering grip.
Middle of the road in lightness/ toughness.   Pretty tough tire for the weight.

Thanks for the ideas so far. Jeff has hooked me up with a pair of 
Specialized Fat Boy 700x45c which should tide me over for this year. Then 
maybe will grab the G-One and give them a try for next year. 

If there are still any other suggestions out there, please keep them 
coming.

I hate to be that person who recommends the thing you *just* said you don't 
want, but as a not-small person I've had impressively good luck on Rene 
Herse's 700x44 Snoqualmie Pass with the Endurance casing. The combo of the 
tougher casing and wider width (which allowed lower tire pressures) let me 
get nearly 7k miles with only one flat before the rear needed to be 
replaced, where earlier attempts with RH/Compass tires were not nearly as 
successful.

If 700x43 is okay, Gravel King SS has a really useful mixed tread.

[RBW] Need 700x45C recommendations, please

[EricP]

Looking to put the biggest tires I can on my early Sam Hillborne. With the 
sidepulls, 45mm is supposedly max. So what's out there? I have the Kendas 
from the Clem on there now. Heavy and slow, but very reliable.

As I am very heavy don't want to try the Rene Herse (Grand Bois) again. Had 
a set of Barlow Pass on this spring and ended up with three punctures on 
one ride. Just not worth it for the super light weight.

So far am thinking of the Schwalbe G-One, but what are some other favorite 
options? 

Thanks.
