I think I'm going to get some
Mavic A719, you can put tires between 700x28 and 700x47.
Mavic's website says "Recommended tire widths: 19 to 28 mm" That's not the same as saying that the max width is 28mm. I talked with Peter White who said I should have no problem running 30's or 32's. So I've run 30's or 32's for the last 13000 miles. Total weight, me plus bike plus gear, has been anywhere between 215 and 280, depending on what I was carrying (e.g. the max was for 75 miles of loaded light-touring).
