Hi!

I have a mountain bike but I am doing much more road than anything else (around 90% road, 10% paths and trails), hence I want to change the tires to something faster on the road but still able to take some paths when required. I normally use the bike for 40-70km rides around my area, I have done some touring in the past but there is nothing on my list at the moment. After reading a lot of messages in the forum, I have the following in mind:

- Schwalbe Marathon 27.5 x 1.65
- Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 27.5 x 2.00
- Schwalbe Marathon Almotion 27.5 x 2.15

I was more inclined for the Almotion or Mondial until I realised they they are only available in pretty wide options for 27.5 wheels (2.15 and 2.00 respectively), so that changes my thoughts back to the Marathon (the original, or Greenguard). What are your thoughts? I have read that tire width is less important than it seems, but the whole point of changing the tires is to get a better balance on the road (something quicker, less rolling resistance), so keeping 2.00 tires or even wider does not seem like a positive change!

Thank you!
