[RBW] Re: Big Apple vs. Supreme
I've got 50 mm Supremes (46 mm on Dyad rims). Nothing wrong with them, but I think there's enough room for bigger, so I'm really really tempted to try to squeeze 60 mm BAs under the fenders... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I say go with 50mm Duremes. After all, these are going on a Bombadil. --mike On May 2, 5:29 am, Marty wrote: > Need a new set of tires for the Bombadil, and considering Big Apples or > Supremes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Apple vs. Supreme
Odd, I've always found the Supremes to be surprisingly noisy. It doesn't bother me, as they are wonderful tires. I believe they last longer in proportion to cost. My buddy Weasel got almost 9000 loaded commuting miles on the rear! His front tire, also after 9000 miles, looked almost new. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Apple vs. Supreme
Hi there, I ride both tires in 50mm on an Atlantis and Hunqapillar. This weekend I rode the Atlantis with the Big Apple on the front and Supreme in the back. I like both for they offer a plush ride and provide peace of mind with their puncture protection. However, if I had to pick one, I'd go with the Supreme. The Big Apple has a slight noise on pavement as the other is virtually silent. In terms of grip I couldn't notice any difference. Also I prefer the look of the Supreme. Both are great tires though and the Big Apple wins the cash register contest.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Apple vs. Supreme
I've used both. Like the Supremes better. But to confuse things more, my wife has Big Apple Liteskins on her bike and prefers them over regular BA or the Supremes. And the bike that had Supremes now has Schwalbe Kojaks on it and those might be my favorite so far. None are a bad choice.

The Supremes are also a bit lighter, not that that matters much... :-) I'm now using Duremes (50) on my Huqapillar and I like them very much as well.
