Schwalbe's sizing is kinda interesting. My 35 mm Marathon Supremes are marked 37-622, 28 x 1.40, 700 x 35c. At 60 psi they measure 36 mm on a Mavic A 719 rim (24 mm or so inside width, IIRC). Perhaps tire measurements have different spec requirements in varioius parts of the world, and Schwalbe is just trying to keep everyone happy? Also, the Extreme could measure different than the Supreme.
