Another vote for the Shikoro's. They are basically just fat Jack Brown blues – just as round, just as smooth, just as hard to flat. It's what I really always wanted in a tire for all the years I rode JB's.
Has been my daily driver most of the year – mostly paved, some dirt, some gravel. Ride them at 70 or 80 on paved rides and they roll like butter, otherwise 50 or 60 and they get most jobs done with aplomb. I also tried the Supple Vitesse (~= fat Jack Brown Greens). Lovely, but not enough flat protection for my riding.
