Anyone running any fat slicks these days in the 700x2.5-2.8 range?

I'm running some ET's and looking for other options...thanks!

Following... looking for some similar tires for an upcoming build. Right now considering the Schwalbe G-One series. They make the 'all around' in a 2.25 and the 'speed' in a 2.35, so not quite as big as you're looking for.

Schwalbe are the only ones I know that I would consider worth riding.

The Schwalbe G One in 2.35 is a super fast rolling tire and is about as close as you’re going to get in terms of a serious tire close to your size. Vee makes a 2.8 inch tire that is specced on jones bikes. They aren’t bad tires at all but they’re super heavy.

Another vote for G-ones. I've had them in 700x57 and 650bx57 on a Clem and Atlantis respectively. Big fan for 80-90% of my riding, and decent for the smaller portion of my riding on rocky/rough trails.

They feel faster than other 2"+ tires I've ridden, and are tubeless compatible if that's your thing!

I saw the Moto X comes in a 2.6 and 2.8 but not in 700C........

I suspect you could find offerings from the bmx segment of the bike market.  We’ve all seen the SE single speeds wheelie-ing everywhere.  The tires would probably be big and durable.
