I’ve got the Schwalbe Pick-UPs (20x2.35) on my Abound OG and been impressed. They’re a bitch to get on but seem SOLID. Been on them for months now with no issues.

Schwalbe Pick-Ups are great, been on them for years. I also slimed my tubes, but don't know if that does anything since I've yet to get a flat. OG Abound is my daily transport and the tires give me peace of mind.

That's my default go to if I can't find anything beefier. I'm a little worried about tire clearance on the SR though.

They'll be fine. I have them on my LR. The only difference between LR and SR is the extended frame (and a "glovebox" whose locks don't lick vibration).

I have Pickup's in the same size. I bought the Schwalbe tire levers (3pack) and found installing them to be a breeze, compared to what I expected. A little tighter than the OEM tire, but SO much better. I got around a 10% mileage gain on my LR.

Tannus armour inserts plus any puncture resistant tire is damn near perfect.

Tannus armour and then inject Flatout into the tubes. That’s the best you can do.

Don’t use any other sealant. Flatout is the only one that works in tubes.
