Actually, if she's riding serious gravel, a full on mountain bike tire might
be advisable. I run Continental Race Kings on my Ogre & they are really pretty
great on pavement also. (surprisingly so!)

Continental DoubleFighter IIIs might fit the bill. I was looking for a tire
under $40 a few years ago and got a pair for $60. Riv is out of Continental
Race King Sports but those are lighter than the DoubleFighters and have a
knobbier tread.
Echoing others I also like the ThunderBurts and Big
I've had Thunder Burts on my Atlantis which I really loved. Wanted to try
the Rat Trap Pass, which I love even more, especially on streets. They're
considered a gravel tire and I have used them off-road; great there too.

Maxxis DTH, actually 2.15, but pretty close. Not overly heavy for their size
either. Folding bead & if you scrounge around you can find them new for less
than 50 bucks each.

Thanks Adam
I also found these in my research.
Curious if anyone has used them.
Kenda Kozmik ii lite available in 26x2.0 in a more supple casing ...455g.
They can be found for reasonable prices

Another vote for Big Bens. I have the plus version since I ride areas with
a lot of broken glass, potholes and debris. Smooth on pavement and does
well on dirt and limestone trails.

+1 on Big Bens (raceguard type). They have a bit more tread than Big
Apples. You can get Marathon Greenguard in 26x2 as well, but they'll have
thicker (tougher) sidewalks vs. the Big Ben (raceguard)

Might be slightly too wide for you but I've been on a similar hunt for
tires for my partners bike and I'm going to try these;

Apparently thunderburts come in 26x2.1. That’d be my first choice.

I’ve always liked the Schwalbe big bens. I forget why I picked them over the
Big Apples but I think they are slightly higher performance?

Thanks Conway, but I think the Smart Sams are way too aggressive for mostly
road with some hardback trail and gravel.
Also, I think she wants to keep the tires, but if not, we may offer them up.
They have been on the bike for exactly 5 years and appear to have at least
75% of their life left in
