My question is a 26" tire choice, or more accurately a width. I plan to go with a Schwalbe Marathon Supreme. They are available in 2 widths, 1.60 & 2.00.
Thoughts?
What are you touring on?

When I tour on gravel I prefer a 50mm wide tire. But for pavement I have toured on 40mm wide when using 26 inch tires.
