Continental Contact II are pretty good (and are actually rated for tandem use). In 32mm they are about 550g which has got to be about 200g less than a Marathon Plus. We're happy touring on them for sure, roll along nice enough and seem strong.
On the rare occasions we want to be a little zippier, then 28mm 4 Seasons are plenty good enough for the job.
We're a fairly light team at around 120kg.
