For 700 cc wheels.

This bike will ride on a mix of roads, bridleway, canal path, and gravel.

But I won't be using it to try and take corners really fast. It's not that kind of riding.

Would like 30mm to 37mm.

Not too fat.

I use gravel king sk in 35mm for that sort of thing.  Works when I'm wearing a skirt AND with trousers

Thx, but I'm not planning on wearing a skirt any time soon 😀

What sort of price do you want to pay? I've run the Continental AT Ride (700x42c) for ages and rate them. Cheap too at around £16 each. The narrower (35c) Cyclo X-King (same tread pattern) is also good, think Planet X have the wire bead version (which is fine) at £10 each. I've just bought a pair of Specialized Trigger (700x47) but they also do a 37c width for around £17 each (wire bead) ... Can't comment on what they're like as they've not arrived yet!

I have no problems with smart sams.   Roll good with plenty of pressure in and get some grip off road.

These seem really good and super cheap I’ve just bought a pair

I use the transpennine trail a lot o.p and I'm really happy with Schwalbe G -One's. Mine are 38mm but they come in other flavours.
