I started on Marathon ?? Plus / Supreme.. the ones with the flat protection you could put a thumb tack in without a puncture. I first ran these 700x28's on a tour between Boulder Colorado and St Louis Mo. The sold me along the way as I drank coffee and watched friends patch tubes from goat heads. (multiple times daily) Great story, one of my friends took his tire of to patch the tube and it had six holes in it. I just rode and enjoyed. I then went to the 700x35's for the next several tours, all short one week things. I loved the extra stability and the better ride. Once again I've never had a flat with these tires. I will continue to use them on tours but they are too heavy for daily riding in my opinion. For daily riding I'm loving the JB's. Then I bought my Bombadil with 700x50 Big Apples.. WOW.. why would anyone tour on anything less that that????? Ok why would I (and won't) ever tour on anything less than that. It's just a marvelous feeling loaded up. Stability, good roll etc. So I'll have to see if the Big Apple has the same quality protection or not before the next tour.. but I'm just sold on bigger tires period... Kelly
