I have a set of schwalbe supremes and a set of schwalbe duremes. The supremes are a little faster but the duremes are very comfortable. I have been running my duremes since the snow cleared on my LHT and so far so good...no flats. The supremes are also a comfortable tire just not as plush as the duremes, I have around 5k on my supremes with few flats. In my opinion the duremes would make a great commuter tire due to the treads ability to take on road hazards a little better.
