schwalbe tyres have a reputation for being quite pressure sensitive, so I’d play around with that a bit before writing them off.
personally, I went for the 2.25’s, and run them at a few psi less than the recommended minimum printed on the tyre wall.
I’m about 13st kitted up for the bike, and run the rear at around 38psi, front around 36psi.
I’m pretty happy with them so far, as an ‘all-round’ tyre. I ride round the Peak’s a lot, plus a bit of Trail Centre-ing.
