But I've gone for 32c - not an option with the Mondial - since I will be using them almost solely for road use, and more Winter training/commuting than touring. They still get great reviews for durability and protection.
I used these for about 2,500 miles. The tread was fine, but the sidewalls gave up. Never had that problem with another tire, so I stopped using the supremes.
