Trivial Tyre question

Hi guys,

I have two sets of tyres. I can't decide whether I should use the 2.25' Schwalbe Big Apples or the 1.75' Continental Travel Contacts for my Round the World trip...

Such a trivial matter but it has come after making all of the far tougher decisions!

Bear in mind they only have to last from London to Istanbul as I have two Marathon XR's I'm going to be putting on when I get to Turkey.

Opinions and ideas if you would be so kind, but hurry as I leave tomorrow!

Cheers

I think you'll be happier with the Travel Contacts while rolling on pavement.
