I like WTBs offerings. I've used the Byway and now the Sendero in 47mm. I would argue that knobs are not necessary on big tires unless you're riding in lots of mud. I ride singletrack in file treads all the time, substituting volume for knobs. I have a pair of Byways I'd let go for not much money. They do have some sealant residue and a patched sidewall cut on the front.
