What's your 26" road tyre choice?

Specialized FatBoys for me... though, I'd rather have them in a 2.0" or larger for a better ride.

I quite like the now discontinued Michelin wild run'r. Totally slick. Folding bead in 1.1" only. Only 225 grams!😃

The 1.4" wire bead version is a lot heavier, still lighter than some others mentioned here.
 
I've just discovered that Panaracer do one of their Gravelking range in a 26x2.1. Oddly it's not on their website but is available in retail.
 
Went out for the first ride today on some recently acquired Innova Cobra Skin 2.0 tyres. They weigh around 380grams(somewhat more than advertised!) and pump up to more like a 1.75.
I ran them at 40psi, with a vittoria latex tube, on a mostly road route and holy cr@p! . They absolutely fly! . I thought SpeedKings were good, but these Innova things are really good. Not sure how they will last, though.

Being new they squeak a bit turning on shiny tarmac but grip on gravel, or gravel on tarmac, was top drawer.
