Alternative tires for the road?

I use a Continental Top Touring 700 x 47. It's fairly skinny and hard at
50 pounds of pressure. It isn't much affected by crowns of roads. I use
a suspension seatpost when I'm going for much distance.

I'll be trying it this Sunday on the Centennial Trail--part of the Black
Hills Muni Weekend. It's a fairly long, not especially technical
section. I'll see how the tire does off road.

I know that Steve Dek has a bigwheel with a solid tire (i think...) and
I've always wondered what it would feel like on the road. I assume if
it isn't too wide and thick, it wouldn't be much different than a highly
inflated regular tire.
