Thanks for the responses everyone!

I will mull things a bit and post a picture when I switch things up.

over on my clem L with those tires. rivendell also has these schwalbe g one 
all arounds that are similarly fast-rolling but have some knobbage that 
bites if you want that.

I'm going to +1 on the Thunder Burts as well. Most likely my favorite tire. 
Addix Speed red.

If you're looking for budget options, check out Continental Race Kings or 
Double Fighter. I've used the latter on my Cheviot when I want to take it 
off-road (don't laugh!), removing the fenders to fit 2" 29ers. You can find 
them for super-cheap at the link below ($13 a pop) and they work perfectly 
fine on and off-road.

Any off-road tire will work just fine !

If you're asking the "best thought/opinion/bias " *about* tires , there 
isn't one.

I'm also using the Thunderburts, and while I'm pretty slow anyway, I 
noticed little speed loss on the pavement compared to my big Rene Herse 
Antelope Hills or Schwalbe G-ones. And they can often be found cheap.

[RBW] Re: Tires for Toyo Fatlantis?

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I'd recommend either the widest knobby Rene Herse tire (though short of 
snow or uber mud, it really is amazing what can be ridden on their slick 
tires), or to go wider yes, Schwalbe's Thunder Burts or Racing Ralphs are 
fantastic all round tires (surprisingly good on asphalt too). 2.1 to 2.25" 
will give you plenty of tire. My Hunqapillar maxes out at 2.1" (it's the 
first run, so narrower), and that is plenty wide for most things. For 
reference, I ride roads (pavement and dirt) and trails all around Pikes 
Peak as well as to and on the Continental Divide.

With abandon,
Patrick
