Thanks for all the replies.
perhaps the tread pattern of the mondial is more to your liking.
Marathon Mondial HS 428 | Schwalbe North America
what width marathons are you using, and which marathons?
I have ridden 26x1.5 regular marathons on all kinds of surfaces, and would only go wider and more tready if I knew I were to be predominantly on dirt and gravel--and of course with a load, wider is always going to be easier, wider foot print.
