All true. We wish (at the very least) that the Marathon Plus were available in a 630. I'm not sure how common this size is outside the US, but the 635 is commonly used on bikes in India, China and the Netherlands. It's fair to say that if I were responsible for Return on Investment numbers with regard to making tires and tire molds, I'd probably make tires for those markets as well.
