I'm not aware of any wire-bead Grand Bois tires.

Yes, it is a folding tire.

Okay, I'll take them.

Steve: I had a set of wire bead cypress a few years ago.

Inspired by this comment, I went searching and found a listing for a
white label Grand Bois 650b Cypres steel bead tire at the
cyclesgrandbois.com site. I've never seen the Cypres 650B tire in real
life, and haven't paid any attention to that size so I'm not surprised I
overlooked them. AFAIK the 700C Cypres tire, the one I've used since
2008, has only ever been available here as a folding tire.

@ Steve:
It is a green label 32mm 650b Cypress.
At one point, GB redid some of their tires and made the models better after BQ testing input.
I think these improved Cyprii might be part of this.

Yes, I do recall that. All the Cypres tires I've seen have been green
label, all 700C and all folding bead.

I purchased some of the first run 650 x 32B Cypres and they were white label/wire bead.
The green label/folding bead has a different composition.
It was either the rubber compound or casing being changed to reduce rolling resistance, I don't recall which but the Hetres debuted around that time so I never revisited the 32s.
