So far so good.

No flats on small pea gravel. I need to get the tire to a mechanic to check to see if the tire is defective. At high speeds I can see the tire wobble.

Thank you for your feedback.

The best for commuting

Great! Durable. Dependable. Love the reflective sidewalls for winter commutes. And they dont roll half bad

Thank you for your feedback.

A Fight Worth Having

I can't say I ever strugled so hard with a tire as i did with these to get them on... boy, i am really happy I did tbough. The tires are wide for 25s and really provide a great ride. Only a couple hundred miles but I have crossed broke glass on the shoulder and some sharp gravel washout without issue. The reflective strip also provides a sense of comfort.

Thank you for your feedback.

Well Worth the Struggle

I can't say I ever struggled so hard getting a tire on as i did with these. That said, i am really happy I didn't give up. The tires are wide for 25s and really provide a great ride.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus is a fantastic tire.

This is a great tire. I replaced the Schwalbe Kojak tires with a set of the Marathon Plus and glad I did. Overall riding performance and cornering are better. I highly recommend this tire for all touring and commuting. It is a five star tire!

Thank you for your feedback.

Solid wet weather performer

As wet weather moved in I replaced my slicks with these and am very happy. I have much better traction and control.

Thank you for your feedback.

I count on these year after year

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!!

Thank you for your feedback.

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.

Great riding tire for long distance bike touring.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best tire I have ever owned.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Ride daily, few flats, and good wareability make these my tires of choice.

Over all best tires I have purchased, only bad thing is the reflective sidewall fades even with the cleaners I have used.

Lasts a long time without any flat tires.

Use on my road bike. I ride 3000 miles/yr and the only flat tire I have had is running over a screw that went completely through the tire.

The ultimate commuter / touring tire!

Smooth rolling, long lasting, puncture resistant. Hard to install though. Best to use a bead leaver.
