As far as the folding tires go- I don't use them unless I find a really good price. I don't believe that the weight of a wire bead vs. kevlar bead makes that much difference compared to the overall weight of a tandem. I do carry a folding tire as a spare on the bike if we wreck one on a ride, but otherwise, I don't care if they fold or not.

Let see. 25 folder I just weighed 208gr. Wirebead 28, 318gr. That's 220gr or almost half a pound. Not just weight rotating weight. To this weight weinie it a difference worth a few bucks more.
