The bike I got comes with schwalbe marathon plus 25mm, The ride isn't the nicest when you hit some hardpack paths or bad tarmac nor is rolling resistance.
Can anyone recommend some good tyres that are suitable for very light off road (bad tarmac/ hardpack paths/very light snow) has got excellent Rolling resistance and specially GOOD comfort levels? ( durability is important as well of course). I do not need off-road tyre, but something that will at least handle some light bad roads/conditions.
Looking for something that comes in 30-32mm real life size as that's the max my frame will take. (want the bigger width for more comfort and ability to run them at lower pressures)
I have heard that the GP 4000S II in 28mm size comes up to like 31mm in real life and are very very good rolling

What are some other as good/better tyres for such purposes and that comes up in larger sizes like the 30mm-32mm?

Given you want a tyre for light snow I wouldn't go for a GP4000 as it's not really an all season/weather tyre, it gets cut up quite easily as well from prolonged rough road use.
Continental 4 seasons come in 28 or 32mm flavours and sound more suitable for your needs.
28mm Michelin Pro 4 Endurances would also be a good option.
If you're willing to embrace the dark side of tubeless then Hutchinson Sector 28 or 32 would be ideal.0 -
Specialized Roubaix Pro in the 30/32 size. Available tubeless or standard.0

Panaracer GravelKing are available in 28 & 32c widths.

I'm a fan of Clement Strada USH tyres. Roll well enough on the road and can handle more off-road than I expected.
£15 at Planetx at the moment.Condor Super Acciaio, Record, Deda, Pacentis.
Curtis 853 Handbuilt MTB, XTR, DT Swiss and lots of Hope.
Genesis Datum Gravel Bike, Pacentis (again).
Genesis Equilibrium Disc, 105 & H-Plus-Son.

I'm liking my 32mm WTB TCS Exposures. Recommended if you want you go tubeless. If not and need clichers, those Clement Stradas at PX look to have a similar tread to the Exposures but much cheaper...Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0

Challenge Paris Roubaix - they're specced as 27 mm but on any recent rim will end up wider, on my 19mm internal rims they were aboot 31mm
BUT best to have a Kool Stop tyre bead jack to fit them... seriously... they are an 'open tubular' clincher so are a beast to,fit when new out of the box.
Haven't tried but hear very good things about Compass tyres - made by Panaracer to their specs.

I'm looking to get a pair of the Stampede pass (32mm) in the extra light casing...
( i had to g back to 25mm Gp 4000’s as couldn't find 28''s here in Bangkok, and they're a real dissapoint,rnt after the Challenge).0
