Yes, thanks everyone. I'll give the "high end" RH tires a try this go around. I'm a fan of Schwalbe so those will likely be my second go-round. I've tried Big Bens and Schwalbe Marathon HS in the past as well. I'm not sure I'm sold on *suppleness *yet. The good news is the Platy already soaks up lots of road vibration.
I just did this entire exercise in my head this week: * Need 1 new 42mm tire > replace both tires > get bigger tires 48mm > get bigger fenders to fit tires > upgrade fender-mounted tailight? > upgrade wheels*?!
