Jim: Same old 35 mm Marathon Supremes as before. Got a brand new set of 40s from Riv a while back but too lazy to change tires right now. Besides, the 35s still have tread showing! No worries.
I think anything made in a 40 should be tough enough. In my case, I'm the weak link; the bike & tires can handle things I can't. dougP On Feb 8, 2:11 pm, James Warren <jimcwar...@earthlink.net> wrote: > What tires, Doug?
