At least one of the 32mm folding Marathon Supreme tyres on my Hewitt Cheviot tourer is starting to be on it's way out, though it's give good service. I've been very happy with these tyres generally, they seem reasonably durable and puncture proof, the ride feel is pretty good (for a touring tyre, much nicer than Marathon Plus tyres, which I absolutely hated), the grip seems okay in the wet, they're easy to get on and off my DT Swiss TK540 rims and I can maintain a reasonable speed on them without excessive effort, but before I just go and buy another pair, are there any other tyres in market now also worth considering?
The bike is currently used as a daily commuter, for fast club runs in all weathers, and for (occasional) light-medium (not "expedition" style) touring on roads and cycle paths.
I'd potentially be willing to sacrifice a little in durability for better performance, because I am using it now for club runs, so is there anything else worth considering that would be a bit faster, but not too fragile? Wouldn't want to go skinnier than 30mm for this bike, though.
Have been looking at the
Challenge Strada Bianca (30mm) and
Compass Stampede Pass (32mm), possibly even
Continental Grand Prox 4 Season (32mm)?
NB: *not* tubeless, please!
