I use these tires on my electric car and run for 8 hours a day. It's been almost a year now. I've forgotten what a flat tire isI definitely recommend this type of tire

Good quality tire,i like to much
Review by larrbuzzaw1
I bought this tire because my new electric bike has the motor in the back tire and the design of the bike has the seat almost directly over the back tire. Resulting in 3 flat rear tires in six months.
With the 45lbs weight of electric motor and my 195 weight I'm assuming it's to much for the tires that came with the bike.
It's been 4 months and no rear flats.
I bought these tires for my folding dahon bike a couple of years ago and never had a flat

I put Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on my Surly Long Haul Trucker for a trans-America ride that I completed. I had three flats on the rear in New York and swapped the tire with a spare. I ordered another Schwalbe Marathon Plus that I used from Colorado to Washington state with no flats. I think that the Schwalbe tire that I replaced was compromised with some culprit inside that I could never find. My conclusion. The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is a good tire but not puncture proof.

These tires feel incredible. You can tell right away that these are a premium tire even if it comes at a premium price. They roll much smoother than any other tire I've used on my commuter bike and after a few hundred miles they show no signs of wear. I can now ride with confidence that I will be safe from punctures and that alone is worth the extra money I spent buying these tires.

Fat and heavy. But a tuft tire.
Review by Mister Magoo
I use this and its 20 version on my bullitt cargo bike. When you are delivering 300 pounds of cargo on unforgiving tarmac, the last thing you need is a flat. These arent 100% full proof, but I struggle to think of any time these tires let me down. Rolling resistance is low and mileage is high.

I recently biked across the country and these are the go-to tires !! i mostly rode on pavement but had some gravel and they handled very nicely.

Good grip. Few flats. Long milage. But they ride like bricks. I will ride them always.

This the local, Tucson. Trike tire of choice. Its one of the very few that stand up to our road debris, thorns and rough roads. So far no flats in 2000 miles since I switched from Schwabe Racers to the Marathon Plus.

Great ride and reliability. Sale price was super.
Review by Flying Fortress
If you value reliability, and riding without worrying about flats, there is no better tire than these. I've put thousands of miles on this tire now, without a single flat....in goathead capitol of the country (NM). People whine these are heavy and slow. I've never noticed. Will let you know if I ever change to anything else (hint I won't!).
Especially if you're doing loaded cross country touring, you'd be crazy to even consider anything else.

My coworker told be about these tires a couple years ago and once I rode them I have not switched back. I used to ride Gatorskins and would get about 5 flats within 2500 miles before replacing. My marathon plus tires have lasted about 3000 miles and I have only had two flats in about 10,500 miles one was a sharp piece of metal that made a 2 slash and the other was a small needle that made a slow leak in the tube. I ride mostly on the road with a lot of construction and broken glass, some parts of my 20 mile commute is on bike trails.

Smoother ride on bumpy roads. I've only used the tires on nice trails but still a good ride
Review by A happy customer!
Bought a set of these tires to replace OEM mountain bike tires. They have not disappointed me at all, thoroughly enjoying the smooth rolling action on city pathways in the US and Canada. Now I'm not the last rider struggling to keep up with my friends.

I have had the Marathon Plus on my rear tire for years - great product. Now I have on on the front too and I'm looking forward to no more punctures.
Review by Desmond Wright
For it's weight I was pleasantly surprised by its fast rolling. Pumped to it's minimum pressure they did cause more rattles than my previous tires, but they performed the job that I wanted, flat protection on Sacramento's bad roads!
