SchwalbeGreen Marathon 700c Tire (HS 420)(Return to Product Page)

I bought one tire to replace my rear Schwalbe Marathon which had *finally* worn out after almost 5 years and many hundreds of miles. I never had a flat with that tire, and I don't suspect I'll have a flat with this one. If you're a commuter and you need reliability, you cannot go wrong with the Marathon.

I got these for my daughter's bike and have not put them on yet. They look nice. Hope the extra width smooths the ride some.

Put one of these on the rear of my Cypress DX and took it down the GAP trail. So far so good. No flats. Rides much better than the OEM tire it replaced. Haven't noticed any wear after about 250 miles. We'll see how it hold up in the long run. It is a little tough to mount, just take your time and follow the included directions and you should be fine. Seems to be a solid buy at a decent price and quick shipping by biketiresdirect.

was getting a lot of flats this year on my Portland commute, but none since switching to these. not the easiest to install but it wasn't really that hard either - didn't have to do anything special to install.

Eco friendly mfg, I love it. Plus the green emblem matches my bike color. Can't go wrong with a Schwalbe!

I have been riding on these tires for several years, including a 1500 mile camping tour down the Pacific coast. I've never had a flat. Good value.

Good grip. Fine on pavement - a bit of rolling resistance but not bad. Can't comment on longevity as they haven't been on long. No flats so far.
