Low knobbies
Lightweight
2.35" max width
tubeless if your rims support it
low rolling resistance

I like WTB Exiwolfs. Good all-rounder for the area. Kenda Nevegals are a good choice if you want more grip at the expense of some rolling resistance. Panaracer FireXCs are good if you don't mind a smaller volume tire.

I like the FireXCs. Inexpensive, available, and they work well. They are a bit narrow though.

Continental Speed Kings with the side protection. Very fast on the hard pack and dirt.
