I have bought these tires for the last 7 years. My wife commutes to work 5 times a week and she is not the best at switching flats. specially in the cold weather out here in colorado. she bike all four seasons and these tires have get her from having to change many flats. I like there reflective outer wall as well as there beefy construction. They do and amazing job at keeping glass from entering the tube. The only times she has had to change tubes is when there has been a staple of nail pushing through all the barrier. The tread of the tires is really good on rain as well as light snow. The only negative thing i can say is that they can be a little tricky to take of the rim and sometimes put back on, but once they are broken in they are simple. These tires will definitely give you lots of miles, my wife has put over 3000 miles on them before i have had to retired them and she rides in crappy city streets and well as green belts. I am very happy with their performance!!
A must for touring. I won't tour with anything else.
Works well, solid commuter. No flats yet with about 3 months of use. I have 32mm & they worked well on gravel. Good all around tire.
Switched out for this set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus and I couldn't be happier! Easy to install and a great smooth ride
I ride daily on the always hot roadways of South Florida and have been very impressed by the flat protection provided as well as the exceptional wear of the Marathon Plus tires.
These tires have been great for allowing me to ride in bike lanes that are not well maintained and full of debris.
Just ordered my second set of these. No flats x 4 years of Chicago urban commuting until today.
This tire is not so nubby it slows me down but is armored enough to withstand punctures from our infamous goatheads. I look forward to trying it off-road on our upcoming GAPC&O trip in May.
Daily ride for 20-30 miles on the shoulder of a Highway. So far no flats.
I have over 5000 miles on these tires and 0 (ZERO) flat tires. Last summer I rode my bike across the USA on the Trans Am route and did not have any flat tires! That was 4600 miles across America. I love these tires and highly recommend them.
Put these on my Trek 920. Was a bit hard to get them to seat on my rims. Very smooth ride. Use these for commuting.
A little hard to mount this tire, like all Schwalbe tires.
Repeat purchase after first tire rode well for commute almost 20 mi a day.
Only one serious flat in a year when the tire ate a deck screw on the rode and punctured. Otherwise survived the steady diet of glass and other debris better than the Armadillo tires I had been using.
After a year tread was still good but sidewall was starting to tear and so had to replace it.
Fit wheel snugly. Several years ago tried Schwalbe but they were too large and blew off the rim.
Product description says from the Netherlands but actual tire wall says Indonesia if you look closely.
Don't worry about these tires on Road off road riding a 47mm. A little on the heavy side but once they get going there's no stopping them
A great tire for loaded touring.
Our trails go from packed gravel, to packed decomposed stone, and to asphalt, these tires handle all if these substrates well. Running them on a Trek road bike and an ICE Vortex recumbent.
Over all best tires I have purchased, only bad thing is the reflective sidewall fades even with the cleaners I have used.
Look em up on bike rolling resistance, these tires are pretty great. Especially if you're willing to trade a little weight for dependability.
Worth every penny
