I added Schwalbe Marathon 40/406 front tires to my original "Screwing Around with Tires" post from January 2021.
Tire Speed and Weight
Max speed measured on Lynn Rd downhill east of Felton on ICE Sprint FS E8000 with max pressure in tires and no breeze. Fastest and slowest speed have been eliminated.
