Going touring oop north next week. 1/3 off-road & 2/3 on-road. What 26" tyres will give a good compromise of off-road traction but low rolling resistance on the road?

Perhaps a small block 8 or similar design from other brands (is it Larsen I'm thinking of)

Maybe something like a Schwalbe Land Cruiser? - cheap & cheerful

My sis in law has Schwalbe Black Shark(?) tyres - big old centre ridge so roll just fine on roads, but have some tread for offroad, as long as you are not pushing the limits too much (but touring, I doubt you will)

Cheap and cheerful have a look at panaracer Mach SS or Kenda K-rad. Better quality then maxxis larsen or cross mark.
