The current rear tire on my Atlantis is a 700 x 45 Marathon Touring Plus, which weighs in at 1,070 grams of solid German (actually Indonesian) rubber & steel. I've got my order in at Ocean Air for a pair of the new Soma C-line 700 x 38s & look forward to their arrival. Meanwhile, I'll take my punishment for managing to destroy a nearly new Supreme.
