Which tyres are people running? I'm building up a Trek T200 for shorter summer tours with a team weight around 140 kgs. Was looking at Marathon Supremes in 32c.

I considered supremes for ours but went with regular marathon plus, because I wanted a thicker sidewall for loaded riding.
It adds up with luggage and the bike and I don’t really notice any difference in speed from the kojak’s that were on previously.

I've always wondered about the weight limit on Schwalbe tyres.
I've seen pictures of high mileage tandems using Grand Bois tyres.
Never heard of sidewalls failing.
