2. The rolled tissue product of claim 1 wherein the multi-ply tissue product has a Stiffness Index from about 4 to about 8.
3. The rolled tissue product claim 1 wherein the multi-ply tissue product has a geometric mean slope less than about 10,000 grams per 76.2 mm sample width.
4. The rolled tissue product of claim 1 wherein the multi-ply tissue product has a geometric mean stretch greater than about 10 percent.
5. The multi ply tissue rolled tissue product claim 1 wherein the multi-ply tissue product has a basis weight from about 35 to about 45 gsm and a GMT from about 700 to about 1400 grams per 76.2 mm sample width.
6. The rolled tissue product of claim 1 wherein the multi-ply tissue product has a Surface Smoothness Sa value less than about 25 μm and a Surface Smoothness Sq value less than about 40 μm.
