The range of 27.5/650B tyres is increasing quite quickly, the two you could look at are the Kojak and Marathon plus.

The Kojak is lighter and faster rolling and will have lower drag, the marathon plus is harsher riding and a little awkward to fit but is as near completely unpuncturable as you can buy.
That said I am assuming a commute type usage and not Urban fun riding......Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
