I'm thinking of doing the 4 Rivers on my Brompton that currently has Continental Urban Contact , 16 x 1.35 , semi slick .
Looks like I may need to install more of an "all-roads" tire .
Hi, the tires are Kenda Kontact 47-305 (16 x 1.85 equivalent) with 35/50psi front and back. They worked out great with zero punctures on this tour, a previous one in Bali and general riding around town at home in the last eight months. They are not hard wearing or long lasting, as the rear tire is a bit worn down though far from worn out. Manufactured locally, they are a steal at only $3 apiece.
The images below are of the tire when new.
