Hey there, I completed the GAP last year and rode a 26 in "city slick" tire with no knobbies. I am planning on a 3 day GAP & C/O ride in mid June. Any suggestions on a trail tire for the C/O portion? i will have very little weight and no trailer this time...

If your tires are still in good shape you could just put tire liners in the ones you have.Thats what I use.When those tires wear out you can then put the same liners in your next set.

from a traction standpoint, "slicks" are ok?

Honestly I think you will be better off to use a different tire with tread.The liners will help prevent a puncture but if the Towpath is wet you might slip and slide a bit with slicks.
