- clearance for 40’s
- 700c using with a tube
- mainly will be used when roads are dry, but a 1/4 of the time the roads may be wet (temps above freezing), and very infrequently I’ll come across a section that is a bit slippery (not icy, I stay home in those conditions, or turn around if I come across them)
- doesn’t have to be a heavy and beefy commuter tire that goes for 10k, a bit lighter is appreciated

Thanks!
Continental Top Contact II’s in 700x38c. The Top Contact II has Vectran belting so they offer excellent flat protection at a significantly lighter weight than Marathons and wet weather grip is outstanding. Conti also makes a “Winter” version with an aggressive tread pattern and can be studded, but it sounds like that’s more than you need.
