It doesn't seeem like the Marathon Supremes are mentioned very often. Would that be a good replacement for the Plus?

The weight of the Plus are 870g/1 Pound 15 Ounces (26X1.5) and the Supremes are 440g/16 Ounces (26X1.6).

About 2 pounds difference for a set.

I love my marathon supreme touring tires. Tough tire, handles well, and has a good road feel.
