What's good?
Schwalbe Marathons = flat protection.
FMB PR = suppleness

If you like the cushy tires- there's the Rene Herse tires. But they're kinda pricey.

I've got 28mm Pannaracer Gravel Kings under fenders on a 1989 Centurion Sport DLX. They seemed pretty well balanced on the supple vs. weight, durability and cost scale. I'm not a small person these tires are a very nice ride. I'm sure 32's would be even nicer.
