What are you guys using? Am using clinchers and would prefer something narrow 30/32C? Been looking at the Vriedstein Priemato? Champion Grifo.Am currently using Conti Speed King 35C But wanting some more clearance in the back of the Swisscross!
Thanx Max
Maxiss Larsons here...
The Schwalbe tyres come up quite narrow...
I'm currently using Conti Twister 32s. Seem to work pretty well, unlike my legs!

Maxxis mud wrestlers...but they seem a little wide.
The Vreds are marked as 34mm. In reality(yes I've actually used them) they are only very slightly narrower than 35mm speed kings, but they're slightly taller; quite good clinchers for hardish surfaces and they pick up less stones than the SKs.
I run 32C Kenda Small Block 8's in dry conditions and 31C Panaracer Crossblaster's when muddy.
I've also used Schwalbe CX Pro's and Conti Twister's on an mtb for crossing.
I used the Conti Twisters for a while but found they used to climb down ridges so have gone back to the Michelin Mud tyres I've had in the loft since 2001. You could try Tifo tubular clinchers as I like T32s.
Chalenge Grifo & Mud 11's
Michelin Mud 2 at the moment 700x30c
Work really well in current conditions
