Need 700x45C recommendations, please

[EricP]

Looking to put the biggest tires I can on my early Sam Hillborne. With the sidepulls, 45mm is supposedly max. So what's out there? I have the Kendas from the Clem on there now. Heavy and slow, but very reliable.

As I am very heavy don't want to try the Rene Herse (Grand Bois) again. Had a set of Barlow Pass on this spring and ended up with three punctures on one ride. Just not worth it for the super light weight.

So far am thinking of the Schwalbe G-One, but what are some other favorite options? 

Thanks.

If 700x43 is okay, Gravel King SS has a really useful mixed tread.

My early Hillborne fits and rides Schwalbe G-one Allround tires very well, strongly recommended 56cm frame for reference. Also did well with 44mm Snoqualmie Pass tires.

I hate to be that person who recommends the thing you just said you don't want, but as a not-small person I've had impressively good luck on Rene Herse's 700x44 Snoqualmie Pass with the Endurance casing. The combo of the tougher casing and wider width (which allowed lower tire pressures) let me get nearly 7k miles with only one flat before the rear needed to be replaced, where earlier attempts with RH/Compass tires were not nearly as successful.

Thanks for the ideas so far. Jeff has hooked me up with a pair of Specialized Fat Boy 700x45c which should tide me over for this year. Then maybe will grab the G-One and give them a try for next year. 

If there are still any other suggestions out there, please keep them coming.

The WTB riddlers in 700x45.   Roll really well and decent cornering grip.    Middle of the road in lightness/ toughness.   Pretty tough tire for the weight.    -Mike
