Replaced with Marathons 420 greenguard 38mm, measure 37mm and are a bit taller, had to adjust fenders.
The ride is fine too new to comment on durability,
There is a new tire from Schwalbe called the Energizer Plus Tour HS 485, it's about 100 or so grams less than the Marathon 440 flatless tire, so not a lot of weight savings, but it is a very durable tire against punctures, and for wear, and the good news is that this tire is only $37 but it is a wire bead tire which shouldn't concern anyone, the bad news is that at this time they have limited sizes so depending on what size tire you have you may or may not be able to find one.
