Also the 50mm Big Apples even though they're not advertised as such. Actually I took the Big Apples' immortality as evidence of just how truly very bad the michelins were for my streets/trails.

Anyway, for me, on routes that michelins are unsuitable for, the marathon supremes and big apples, though pricy (but perhaps not too different from 'regular' tire + mr tuffy) are great rides.
