Touring Tyres / Touring Tyre Size

If your touring is going to be on decent surfaces, have a look at Marathon Supremes.
Much nicer to ride than a M+, more supple and a good bit lighter, less rotating mass and better for fixed. More than durable enough for your planned ride. As above, you'd be ok on "normal" road tyres anyway.

I have 35s on my Surly Trucker - but to be honest I only got those as a sort of reaction to years of not having a bike that could take a big tyre. When I need to replace them I'll get 32s for a little less rolling resistance - but that's assuming riding mostly on Tarmac.

Well the marathon supremes seem to be getting the most support so far, bit pricey though!

So beaded vs folded? I'd prefer easy on/off for if I do puncture along the route which means folded right?

More about which you can afford, it's usually depend on the rims rather.

err, in which way please? I currently have the stock Mavic CXP 22. Evans/wiggle have the tyre for the same price for either mode...

Some rims make it harder to fit tyres whether other are fine, says a touring rims like the Mavic A319 is fairly straightforward but the Open Pro is a little bit of a bitch.

Go for folding if price's the same.

ok, I've taken the plunge and gone for the supremes. Thanks for the advice guys.
