SchwalbeMarathon Supreme TL Easy (HS469) 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

This is the smartest tire I've yet used for touring. Not only does it ride really well, and is relatively light for a touring tire, but I've never flatted on the 700x40 or the 700x35 version of these TL tires. I've used a lot of Schwalbe tires for touring and commuting because they're so tough, but these ride very smoothly, too. For me, the 700x40 measures at 37mm width, and the 35s measure at 33mm, both of these on a Velocity Cliffhanger rim.

I commute every day on some dirty and glass littered bike trails. I haven't gotten a flat yet. I do inspect my tires once a week to pull out any shards of glass and steel. These seem to not collect as much as my normal go to commute tires (Specialized Armadillo). I am riding this tubeless and it seems to be working pretty well so far. I do have experience with Schwalbe Marathon tires and they arent' the greatest handling tires, but they sure are tough. At some point I had switched to the Armadillo and liked the handling better on those. I started using these Schwalbe tires when I couldn't find and buy the Armadillo anywhere. I'm not certain if I'll go back the Armadillo but I'll know more as the months go on.

Daily commute, 25 mi round trip, Half of the trip is on a state hwy that is littered with all sorts of road debris. Running the tire tubeless. Quite durable and resists punctures very well for the first 10k miles. The next 5k miles saw more frequent punctures observed by a loss of air pressure as sealant attempted to perform its job. Replaced rear tire after ~15k miles. Front tire still on. For a tire that is this tough, it feels remarkably supple.

This is my go-to commuter tire.

My wife's new Trek came with some cheap tires but the wheels were Tubeless ready so I threw these Schwalbe's on and she is super happy with the ride. One thing I've been really impressed by with Schwalbe Marathon tires (every one I've tried so far) is that they hold air without adding sealant. I add sealant for the puncture protection, but it's nice to see a tire that can actually hold air without it.

These are great touring tires, tough, but not as heavy as some.

They are heavier and may not roll as well as others, like Gatorskins, but fewer flats more than makes up for it. One flat can ruin your day, and will take longer to repair than the time you'd save with faster tires.

I'm primarily on pavement, but also ride dirt and gravel roads fairly regularly. They are just the right width for both. Quite comfortable and it was east east switching to tubeless. I've had Supremes in the past and you can get many thousands of mikes out of these, and I mean close to 10,000!

I came from Clement MSOs on my Kona TI Rove. Nice tire and better on gravel, but not as good on pavement. Got my first flat at 6,000 on those, but they were about needing to be changed at that point. The Supremes will go another 50% at least.

I've had these Marathon Supreme tire on my e-bike for more than a year. Almost 2,000 miles of city riding. No flats !!! Very smooth ride and great gripping tire.
