[Closed] Yet another 'what tyres' thread... this time for hard-pack chalk/gravel

There is a new bike park just opened near me, with some fairly nice mane-made trails.
Most of the surface is hand-packed chalk/gravel, with a few areas of sandstone, all pretty tough on tyres.
After a 1.5 hour session last night my current (fairly new) Schwalbe Albert tyres have worn noticeably (yes, I know cheap crap)

So, any suggestions, for this kind of surface, they'll be going on a Boardman Hardtail, so don't really want monster DH tyres.
They'll be tubed, and i'm fairly 'big boned' at around 16st if it makes any difference.

Cheers,
Matt.
