Hello I am currently building my first touring bike. 2006 cannondale f400 converted to solid fork with some moloko bars. I am converting the current rims to a tubeless setup and my options for tires are slightly limited as i'm ordering through QBP. Here is the route with the general terrain https://bikepacking.com/routes/alabama-skyway/
My tire options are as follows.
Continental Race king
Continental Cross King
Kenda Booster
Kenda Nevegal X
Panaracer gravelking SK plus
Panaracer Fire XC Pro Tire.
If yall have any opinions or suggestions about these tires let me know!

That route is pretty tame. I remember one rough jeep road and mostly pavement and smooth dirt/gravel. Is this the only route you plan to ride? A set of tires will last for way more miles, so you may want to think about what other sorts of riding you’ll do with the bike and choose tires based on that.
Conti RaceKings are great for mixed gravel and light singletrack.
