And it's not a night and day difference, so I wouldn't sweat it over which tires come on the bike. I think you'll like both bikes. But it's hard to argue with the looks of the Mu frame. It looks so playful and nimble. The speed frame looks a bit outdated really. I love that "chain suspended into nowhere" look of my Mu's nonexistent chainstay.
Direct from Dahon the MU P8 has Schwalbe Marathon Supreme, the Speed P8 has Big Apple tires.
