Schwalbe Marathon Supreme
Anybody used Schwalbe's New Marathon Supreme tire? Looks like its basically a marathon plus designed for a little less rolling resistance. Seems pretty cool from the website... but then again lots of things look cool on websites and turn out to be piles of crap when you get them.

Much lighter than the XR but also less durable. Great for asphalt. Well worth the extra money.

I used them on my tour and really liked them
Each one lasted me around 4000 miles (in the rear) before I had to change them out
I'm sure I could have still put a little more on it but it was starting to look pretty ugly
