Thanks, Duppie
We're 575 on the tandem.
Tires or wheels?
As for tires I absolutely recommend getting some Conti Top Touring (German made gumwalls if you can find 'em), and if you can't find the old Top Touring Contis get the Top Contact instead.
I run 700x28 on my single
700x38 on my tandem
As for wheels, that's a whole 'nother banana.
