Tire Talk

So I just wore through my Schwalbe Marathon Supremes after about 3,000 miles. If you've been in the Colorado thread, goat heads put tons of holes in and a crash compromised my sidewalls; they're done.

I'm in the market for new tires now. Any big changes to the standards or some tires I should consider that aren't obvious? I know lots of people get plenty out of their Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but I prefer a lighter tire.

Also, is there any merit to "hybrid" tread or is it a marketing gimmick?



I'll probably get Supremes again but I wanted to do a state-of-the-market before I pull the trigger.

Thanks!
