My 2 cents. I used the 2.1 Thunder Burts (lightweight tubeless) last year on the Oregon Outback, and on the paved section, we had no problem humming along in the 17-20mph range. They are my favorite mixed terrain tire, at least as far as what I've tried yet. I ride them regularly on my paved commute, and they slow me down far less than normal knobby tires. They seem to just coast along...
If you are going to be doing 99% paved, look at the SuperMotos - they are biggg, light, and comfy, as well. If you want a bit more bite - the TBs are lighter, and grippier on the loose stuff.
