Hi, I've covered just under 9000 km's through 12 countries on 700x50 Marathon Supreme Evo and I've like them, other than blowing 3 sidewalls.
I've had 2 sets of these tyres and only have one left. I'm returning to Vietnam in a few weeks to continue on, and was thinking about taking 2 more Evo's with me as they fold and can be tucked into my Ortlieb bag out of the way.
However, I'm not keen on keep blowing the sidewalls. I don't know whether it's me or the tyre, whether I'm over inflating the tire which pops it out of the rim, or this is a typical problem.
I have been told by others that they have had the same problem, but I rarely hear problems with Plus tires.
So I'm looking to take 2 Plus tires back with me but can't seem to find them in a wide size.
I weigh 138kg, bike 24kg, and my kit 40kg, so I require the thicker tires and I also like the way they look too. Where can I find Marathon Plus tires more than 700x40? Or do you have a better idea.
Cheers
Steve
