Thanks all, for your suggestions. The WTB All-Terrain looks a bit heavy (630g in 38mm). Jeremy, do you know about the Marathon Supremes and Racers? Slicks in 40 and 38mm, respectively. Seem worth a try, though I haven't.
Grifo XS looks nice, but too narrow, unless it runs incredibly wide. Marathon Extremes seem to be in the lead, but: Has anyone tried the Specialized Borough XC Pro 45mm? (Claimed weight 425g, with side knobbies): http://tinyurl.com/y9j9wvw My guess is that they would corner worse on pavement but better on dirt than the Extremes. Look promising. Can the Specializeds be bought online in the US? (The stores I found it at say store pick-up only, except one store in Germany.)
