I've been really liking my Marathon Supreme 42-622s (measure about 37.5), but they're too big too fit inside of my fenders. Currently, I'm using GB Cypres that measure almost 32, but I'm hoping to shoehorn an in-between size tire in.
What do people think of Racers vs. Kojak's vs. Supremes? The Racer and Kojak seem to fill about the same niche, except for a wee bit of pattern. I'd probably try a Racer because there's a 40-622 (I imagine these measure about 35), where the 35-622 that come in both the Racer and Kojak are probably about the same size as the Cypres, only perhaps more durable. Maybe I should get Supremes in 37-622 and be done with it, though. Thoughts?
