if any of you havent looked at the thread I made showing some photos of the wear on my Schwalbe Supremes that I have used on my fully loaded bike through about 4500kms of Mexico and Central America , as well as about 1000kms in France and a bit of commuting, it's a pretty good testimony of how these tires have held up for about 6000kms so far, and most likely good for at least a couple more thousand kms.

In it, I show the photos I took last year of them at 3000kms and now at 6000kms. It's a pretty good reference to see the wear pattern over time, and wanted to show some real life experiences and photos as proof of how they worked out.

I didn't know what to expect from them on my latin american trips, which invariably involved running over glass here and there, and there and here, as well as some rough and abrasive tarmac, but it is pretty impressive how they have held up.

Schwalbe Supreme26x2 followup #2 roughly6000kms

I don't see why different sizes of Supremes would be any different, although perhaps its fair to say that lower pressures on these 2 inchers might help with impact/cut scenarios, but that's just a guess.
