I just put some on my hybrid (they came with a wheelset I acquired). I can vouch for the low rolling resistance; I went from 25 mm Marathon Pluses to 35 mm Supremes and actually beat my best time riding home Monday night.

EDIT: The Supremes are apparently not as bulletproof as the Pluses. I started to get my bike together for tomorrow and... had a flat. Turned out a tiny little sliver of glass worked its way in and got through the belts to the tube. Kind of disappointing.
