Schwalbe Road Plus Tires..Anybody?
I have a chance to pick up a pair of Schwalbe Road Plus Tires for a good price:

Anybody use them or have experience with them? They would be in the 700x28-32 range..

I run the Marathons from Schwalbe. Mate these look the same with a 3mm liner instead of the 5mm in the touring tyres. Tread wear is really good.

They will feel heavy and slow. Good for commuting, but not as much fun as a faster tire.

Those look painful to ride for anything other than short commuter trips.
