I've used the Supremes and also the Marathon Racer, which is only 700x38.
I think the Racer is slightly more plush.  But neither match what would
probably be considered the standard in 650B.

Am wondering if the Soma tires are re-done Paselas?  If so, the 700x37 size
might be the best bet.  Those were the most plush, IMO.
