Continental 4Seasons (inb4 conti hate poster)
Another idea is to buy the old stock continental GP4000 with black chili for the front, as they had much better puncture protection and longevity than the 5000s. run that on the front with a tougher rear for less rolling resistance and weight overall. You almost always flat and wear out the rear way faster as it supports most of your weight. With this in mind you can also consider running a narrower front tyre, for example 25-28mm with a 32mm rear for butt comfort.
Also, since you're speccing your tourer, I'd strongly advise avoiding the typical touring advice and stock equipment, if you're interested in a fun riding experience. You really don't need half the things people typically take touring - a tarp and bugnet or non-waterproof bivy will take much less room and weight than a tent, a merino t shirt and alternating washing bib shorts will take the place of lots of changes of clothes, a foam roll weighs half that of an inflatable, a single metal mug to cook your meals etc. You can easily tour in relative comfort by taking less
Why am I telling you this?
Because if you focus on going minimalist with your gear you can use much smaller and faster rolling, suppler tyres for a more fun riding experience, as less weight will wear much slower on the tyres.
It's the same with backpacking - typically the more you do it, the less you take and the lighter, simpler, more "fragile" gear you end up using because less weight is always more efficient and less hard on the body (or bike). If you're just starting out the tendency is to pack the kitchen sink.
