Care to explain that? Schwalbe makes high-quality tires,and the Supremes are some of their best. I've gotten air under my rear wheel twice while panic braking on a steep downhill(once in the rain!) with Supremes,and in both instances was able to safely stop. I've picked over a dozen bits of FOD out of the rear without a flat. And they even make my all-alloy Pt Reyes ride good.

Erik_A,another vote for Marathon Supremes here. Expensive,but worth every penny. Super grippy,excellent protection,good ride.
