29er tyre recommendations

[HullBorn]

I'm looking to replace the Schwalbe smart sam currently on my commuter to something a bit more road friendly.

For my budget I've narrowed it down to either the Schwalbe Hurricane or Continental Double Fighter III

Anyone have experience using either of them or can recommend any alternatives?

Cheers

Re:

29" rims are the same diameter as 700c, so you can use any 700c hybrid tyre for road use, dependent on the width of your 29er rims.

Thanks for the info. I'll see what's available in 700c flavour.

Re:

I've got a set of 27.5 Schwalbe Hurricanes. They're fine, fast rolling tyres for roads and light, gravel trails when it's dry. They don't inspire confidence in the wet though, especially when cornering.

I went with the Schwalbe Hurricanes, got a good price from https://www.bike-discount.de/
