Every winter I mount my wide heavy Marathon 700x47's and in the spring
I put the high tech Marathon 700x40 Supremes back on and I am amazed
at how much skinnier they look. I quickly forget the visual as I
rediscover how fast they roll and how the bike feels easier to pedal.
I'm starting to think I'll just leave them on all year as they are
such good rolling tires.

Yea I agree..... I have used them but I weigh 257 pounds. (down from
282) When I was a little lighter (high 240's) I rode 30mm wide tires
at 90 psi on the road only. These days 32's are about my limit. Hoping
someday I'll be able to retire and just ride, sleep enough, eat
perfectly and reduce my stress levels.....until then....... : (~

700X40 Supremes on my AHH. I regularly ride gravel, pavement, dirt, and even a little mud from time to time. I love 'em. When it comes time to replace them (not for a while) I may give the 40mm Dureme a go. Or I might just stick with what I know works. Will have to see how adventurous I'm feeling.
