Schwalbe's ratings bug me. If you're going to rate speed, durability, etc on a scale you shouldn't keep changing the scale from tire class to tire class.

Like the Supreme. It is NOT a fast tire. In fact, it's slower than nearly every other tire I've ridden. In that Schwalbe world, that makes it a 5/5 speed.

Anyway, this question is pointless. All you're going to get from most here is what they are currently riding. You'll have no way of knowing if they've ridden tens of thousands of miles on many different tires, or if this is the only tire they've ever tried.
