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.

I asked the question on the cargo thread because I have a Supreme at the back of mine and the weight rating (80kg I think) is for one tyre, so 160kg combined. That should do for tandem use with a kid I'd think, plus it's such a great tyre, fast, comfy and seemingly tough enough.
Thorn specs Paselas PT with their tandem, and that's a great tyre too.

Listed limits are per tyre. You only know about them because Schwalbe lists them and most other tyre companies make you wait until you have the tyres in your hands to read the limit moulded into the rubber in tiny print 🙂

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.
