I went to lighter, more supple sidewall tires: Schwalbe Marathon Supreme vs. Schwalbe Marathons.

The Supremes are nice riding tires, but as was posted above, the supple side walls seem to be more vulnerable. I think that they discontinued making them recently, which is too bad.

This Schwalbe Supreme was less than a week old and my first ride with the tires. I was returning home from a ride and about 4 miles from home. I booted it up and it got me home. I am giving the Supremes a chance, and will use them on a tour this winter or next summer.
