I’ve used various 35mm Schwalbe Land Cruisers on my cx bike for a few years now and they’re good all-rounders.
The cx bike is now being used almost exclusively for commuting 3 times a week. The route is 15+ miles each way, and mostly tarmac with only a mile of rough track.
100miles of road a week is wearing down the centre strip of the Land Cruisers fairly quickly. Of course, I can keep them until they’ve become slicks.
When do I come to change them, though, I’d like to try something else.
More road-orientated (and possibly a bit ‘faster rolling’) would be good, but I would also like a bit of tread, reasonable volume to brisk aid use on Sustrans, dirt/gravel farm tracks, tow paths, hard-pack singletrack etc. and similarly-good puncture resistance to Land cruisers, without being hugely heavy(á la Marathon Plus).
Any ideas? “Fast touring tyres” of some sort?
