Subject: [CR]650b tires for tandem

so... time to replace the old Wober 650b tires on my vintage french tandem. I'm wondering what to buy. I'm somewhat familiar with what's out there, but I also know that tandems wear out rear tires very quickly, so, while comfort and speed are considerations, I really need a rear tire especially that's robust without being too stiff or slow.. Front tire I'll use something lighter.

Any recommendations for front and rear would be most welcome.
