I run Marathon Racers on my touring tandem and have been very pleased with
them. Much of our riding is dirt roads and these tires offer great comfort
and have not flatted in the first 800 miles, even with 400+ lbs. of load.
On my single touring bike I commuted for a number of years, over a
Marathon Supreme in 700C. I also like Big Apple and Mondial. In 650B, there
aren't many chooses, but the Marathon is probably the best of them, in terms of
durability. There's no reason you can't tour on Hetres, though, or any other
tire. After all, touring is just riding your bike.
