BTW, lots of opinions on favorite tires, not so many about tubes (apart from tubes vs tubeless). I'm using Schwalbe tubes--are they more durable than equivalent weight LBS standard tubes? I can say that the valves seem sturdier-built. Even the valve cap is different, grips really well. OTOH it's clear plastic so don't drop it, hard to find like the old contact lenses.

Good comment, I've pretty much always used regular old run of the mill tubes. Here they cost about 6 dollars cad. In the past a few times I have used lighter tubes, but only a few times, and unfortunately don't have any experience with schwalbe tubes.
Touch wood, I generally don't have to patch tubes very often, so again, not tons of experience to compare to.

I really like the Supremes, I ran them front and back on my (heavy ass) commuter. They roll really well and I can actually notice a distinct difference in average speed (1-2kph).
Mine tend to look a bit pitted after a few years and the thin sidewalls do not like being overloaded. When I gave my girlfriend a ride with some Ortlieb bags attached the sidewall gave out. Then again, that was a 170+kg load on a 23kg bike so I was not surprised. Still, Marathon Plus can handle that sort of load without issues.

I will probably put them on my randonneur once the tires on that one are worn.

I just rode Supremes on month long tandem tour, 180+kg load, with not problems.

like I mentioned, I am heading off for about 6 weeks in Mexico, and will check in with how these tires are holding up.

I like the Supremes a lot; I run them on my bridgestone MB 1 which is my go everywhere bike.
