Big apples are pretty great tires, balloon tires you understand...

I have a set on my old rigid mtb and it smooths out the cracked and potholed city streets wonderfully, I have the 2.35" liteskins (kevlar bead). Decent puncture resistance, or at least I have had none all season but I also cant claim to ride on notably broken glass and sharp nail strewn paths and roadways. Rolling resistance is also pretty nice on the hard surfaces. The comfort they afford makes riding a pleasure.

I hear wonderful reports about the schwalbe marathons (supreme) but have never had occasion to use them.
