Looking for recommendations on all-road tyres for a 26 inch xc mountain bike with 559x19 rims. Would like to use this on light singletrack/gravel, tarmac and possibly bike packing, but not technical downhill. Have been looking at options from Gravelking or Rene Herse. As far as I can tell Teravail only does a fat tyre in 26". Thanks.

I recently got the Continental Double Fighter III in 26 and am pleasantly surprised by what I can do with it for the price. Like full on singletrack, pavement and anything in-between. The only problems they have are in deep deep sand/pebble gravel.

Schwalbe Thunder Burt comes in 26"
You already mentioned the Gravel King SK.

I have always been a fan of the old Kenda Small Block 8 tires for the use you describe:

Innova do a small tread in the Cobra Skin 26". Two lightweight options.
