Can any of you recommend a 1"-1.75" tire with dirt/ gravel type tread. I Would like a narrower tire for gravel grinding and some dryish single track applications.
Thx

I like the Kenda Klimax Lite. Rated as 1.95" but it's a skinny 1.95. Pretty low and round center knobs make it fast, as does the incredible lightness. Pretty thin carcass but I don't worry cuz I run Mr. Tuffy in 'em. Poor cornering on roads, though.

For gravel rides that also include several miles of road I like Michelin Country Rock 1.75". They're main drawbacks are kinda heavy and worthless in mud or wet grass. They ride kinda wooden compared to the Klimax, also. Whenever I see these on sale for $10-12, I can't help but grab a couple.

there are plenty of 1 to 1.5 26" mtb type tires (559mm BSD) on wheelchair type websites. i think i've got a few 1.25s, with tread patterns that vary from smooth to what one may call aggressive, that are made by Primo. it should be noted that, IME anyway, when referring to wheelchairs, what is commonly called a 26" tire for MTBs is called a 25" tire.

recumbent websites also list narrow 559 BSD tires.

here's a one inch one with a tread pattern i would describe as aggressive:
