I'm also a big fan of jack brown green. I normally ride Thunderburt 2.1 or 2.25 in the lightest most supple variant (whatever it's called, Schwalbe naming protocol is in serious need of a rebrand) and Barlow Pass EL 38's on the pavement. They are all wonderful. But the Jack Brown rolls wonderfully as well (perhaps ever so slightly behind the Compass tire), but is significantly tougher and more resistant to flats. I would LOOOOOVE a Jack Brown green in a 42 or even 50 for loaded touring. 33.333 still seems so skinny to me when the bike is loaded to the max. Thinking the Schwalbe Super Moto might be the next tire I get...
