If you want a supple 559 bsd tire in widths under 50 mm, I’m afraid the only options are the Rene Herse 32 mm Elk Pass or 42 mm Naches Pass — as far as I know. I’d be delighted to be proved wrong.
Panracer has the Pasela in the 559 X 38 and 32 mm sizes, but these aren’t nearly as nice as the RH tires. Ditto with the 26” x 1.35 inch Kojak and the 38 mm and 50 mm Tioga City Slicker. I’ve used all of these extensively and only the RH models qualify as supple and fast.
