Schwalbe

They roll as you expect for the tread pattern. Hook up well in loose, chunky,rocky, and soft stuff. Did great on a long single track climb with mostly decomposed granite. No washing out front or rear. A little noisy and slower rolling on tarmac than other tires with shallower or closer set lugs. Definitely overkill if 30% or more of your riding is pavement or if the gravel is predictable. Both tires weight out the about 620g but it is a pretty robust tire for the intended use.

I ride a Catrike 700. With the stock skinny tires, I averaged a flat every two weeks. I changed to Schwalbe Marathon Plus 6 months ago. They weigh 2-3 times as much, but they're more surefooted and ride better. Plus...no flats. Often when I get back home, I pull several goat head thorns out of them, but I haven't yet had a flat. That greatly outweighs the added pounds which bring my Catrike 700 up to a manageable 35 lbs. I can't tell you how hard these are to remove because I haven't had to change a flat. I don't think I will, either I'm about to put these on my Catrike 559, too. Highly recommended.

I've used Bike Tires Direct for decades, and I recommend them, too.

I've been riding these for about a month now. I don't ride much in the wet but they grip fine when it's wet. On hard pack they have grip for days and they roll over rocks and roots easily'kinda feels like a caterpillar gripping everywhere. The big surprise was how well the climb and how little rolling resistance they have, the weird thing is how oddly quiet they are in the trail. I just bought a set for my wife's bike too, that speaks volumes.

I've gone thru 5 sets of the Original 32c Marathon Plus over the last 10yrs and they don't compare anywhere close to the quality of these 38c Tour tires. The ride is so much smoother, the cornering is so much tighter and the rolling is so much longer! The pedaling is even easier and I know I will get a lot more miles out them too! Nor do I have to worry about soft ground anymore! A truly excellent tire that fits very nicely on my 26mm wide rims. Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour!!
