I am running Schwalbe Marathon Pluses for now - but they are stupidly heavy. I'm looking for something lighter/with lower RR. Dont need stupid amounts of flat protection (have had only 1 flat in the last year here).
Any ideas? Panaracer Paselas, Vittoria Randonneur Hypers, what else?
I've checked the archives - most of the discussion on 700x32s centers around flat protection and durability. I dont care about either.

...just to be clear here we spec'd them to be heavy as sin. So...it's not like he was thinking they'd be lighter. Just FYI.
