I'm looking to buy a couple of extra tires for my Level. I am not looking to move away from the stock Level tire size of 27.5"x 2.2". The main thing I'm looking for is LONG LASTING rubber that handles well on paved streets as well as Rails to Trails type surfaces. No mountain biking anticipated. If anyone has some insight to the best products for these parameters I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Those appear to be the tires that came stock on my Level. While I have no complaints about them at this time, I was hoping to come across a tire that was known for it's exceptional endurance and handling capabilities. I ran Kendas on my All-City road bike and was quite happy with them for that. Perhaps those Kenda tires are the best then.
 
I have 500 miles on my stock tires, and they still look brand new. Also, the puncture protection is great, and the price is very reasonable at a time with major supply chain issues. Maybe there are better tires out there, but I’m very happy with mine.
 
I know you said you didn't want to go any bigger, but I've really been enjoying the Schwalbe Super Moto-X 27.5 x 2.4 tires on our bikes. You might want to check into something like that. Impressed enough where I've converted 3 bikes to these and a 4th 26" bike to 26 x 2.4. Balloon style for good (great!) ride, good flat protection, silent tread pattern, and low rolling resistance makes for an awesome hybrid street/trail combo. Great ride biggest incentive here.
