My regular Marathons the 950 gram ones are slower feeling than my 500+ gram Supremes the Green guard tire at about 38 mm is around 850 grams (I think...look it up) I have found that my Supremes offer a flat proof, speedy ride for me. My standard Marathons feel heavier and slower but.......and its a definite but......they roll over gravel, dirt, glass and all manner of junk with a way softer ride and the heavy sidewalls inspire confidence. I didn't find the ride to be that much slower when riding alone. It all depends on where and how and who you ride with. I ride mostly alone and sometimes commute 25 miles one way on decent pavement to work so I waned a faster but reliable tire. If I were riding primarily on gravel and off road or on garbage strew streets I think I would go back to my wider Marathons. Having said that I have had no flats on my Supremes...they really are a high performance tough tire. The only tougher tire might be the Marathons with the super thick stuff that stops tacks.....I think the Greenguards are somewhere in between but cost considerably less. What type of riding do you do and where do you mostly ride?
