32C tire recommendations?
During the off-season, I put on heavier-duty 32c tires on my road bike. Past 5 years I've been using Vittoria Voyagers, which I see aren't made anymore. Seems their most similar tire is the Randonneur Pro. REI has Vittoria Revolution Tech 32c. Anyone know about those? I know Schwalbe are supposed to be one of the best, but I've heard they're pretty hard to get on the rim. Also, their heavier duty one's seem to be wire bead. (Definitely want folding, to make it easier to get on.)

Some of my favourite tires:
schwalbe g-one speed (30mm)
challenge strada bianca (33mm)
clément strada lgg (32mm)
compass stampede pass (32mm)
teravail rampart (32mm)
The schwalbe and the teravail may be a better fit for you on the ‘heavy duty’ aspect. I dont know where you got the idea that a steel bead (non folding) tire is harder to mount, but in my years of experience they are almost always easier to mount. Schwalbe is a fantastic brand. I’ve ridden more of their tires over the years, than anyone else. Never had any serious issues getting any of them on.

Panaracer Gravel Kings!!
They make the Panaracer Gravel Kings in several flavors including a small knob (sk version). But I run the slicks on my Ti Frame road bike all year round. The have excellent puncture resistance and roll very nicely. I have about 1500 miles on mine and they are still in excellent condition. I run the 32mm 700c. I could not be happier.

I find the fact the come folded in a box, quite independent of the bead fit in the rim seat..
My LBS, here, not 'mine' Stocks Continental folding tires... they seem fine..
