I would agree with this, since the Duremes and the Supremes were in the Schwalbe line-up at the same time and the Mondial came out later.
I'm currently running a set of the discontinued 40mm Duremes and they are good, all-arounders. They aren't ideal for my riding style because I do a lot of sharp turning on pavement and what little knobs the Duremes have get squishy on those sharp turns. For riding from point A to point B, they are great. Pretty low rolling resistance and I've never had a flat on them.
I just upgraded to a Karate Monkey so now I'm looking for that "perfect" 50+mm tire. Schwalbe has a new tire called "The Big One" that might be interesting. The Almotion sounds good but then I look at the weight of those tires and I just recoil...so heavy for a tire Schwable says is "fast".
