Havent got anything to sell but have suggestions from personal experience
Maxxis 310's - hard to find but fast and light
Schwalbe Fast Fred Light - same as above but not as light
Continental Speedking Racesport 2.2 - fast , most chubby on this list.
Wear rate not so great.
Continental RaceKing Racesport 2.2- suprisingly fast on tarmac but heaviest in this list
Innova Pro cobra Skin - my favourite. Light, grip and wear rate excellent
Chaoyang Merlin - fast, light and grip amazing. Wear out extremely quickly though
Not tried yet
Geax aka Pluma - lightest mtb ever. Sub 300grams.
All tested tyres have been ridden on a mix of tarmac and gravel/dirt/grass. Mostly tarmac wet and dry. Only the Raceking is any good in real mud. All others have been great allrounders

The WTB Wolverines on my GT are fast on gravel.
Panaracer Gravel king 26 x 2.1. Lightning fast, enough grippy, supple. Canāt say on durability as only done about 300km. But wow!

Just did a bunch of great miles today on Michelin Country Rock 26x1.75. Fast rolling on pavement, loves gravel, csn handle a little mud or rocky singletrack, doesn't look out of place on a hotrod...

I have used Country Rocks. They are a pretty good allrounder but i found the tread was really good at collecting little stones, flints, and thorns. Lots of tick-tick-tick cycling along and few punctures from the trapped items.
There is also an angle i could get to, when really leaning the bike over, where i could feel that sharp edge to the tread. Sometimes there was a bit of slip in the wet. They served me well though and they felt pretty good with a latex tube. Not too portly either.
