The current rear tire on my Atlantis is a 700 x 45 Marathon Touring Plus,
which weighs in at 1,070 grams of solid German (actually Indonesian) rubber
& steel. I've got my order in at Ocean Air for a pair of the new Soma
C-line 700 x 38s & look forward to their arrival. Meanwhile, I'll take my
David,
Thanks for your recommendations, I'll spend some time looking over all of
them, probably tomorrow.
Best,

I don't know what use you're looking for so keep that in mind... I
don't like heavy-duty tires, but that's because my kind of riding
doesn't need them. If you need 'em, you need 'em! :-)
That said, just going through Schwalbe's site, here are 26"X50mm tires
that are all around 30% lighter in the 6-
Recommendations?

A Schwalbe tire for under $30? Whoddu thunk? With the Marathon Mondial at
pennies shy of $90, seems like worth a try. They look aggressive enough
for off-road so even if they don't work out as an all rounder, you can use

I'm partial to the HS420s, but you know me...
