Marathon Wired Tyre with Greenguard

I'm going into my 3rd winter season with this tire now. I can't recommend it enough. I ride throughout the winter, often in some of the worst weather conditions. I used to take a lot more falls on my bike before I had these tires. I've hit some slippery patches, but I don't think I've actually fallen off my bike at all since I started using these tires. As far as flats go: I've had these tires on my bike for more than 2 years now (which is a pretty dang long time for a single set of tires), and I've gotten 2 flats. One was from glass. I could tell when I changed it that the piece of glass had taken a while to work its way through. I also found a lot of other pieces of glass in the rubber that never made it through the liner (spent some time picking them all out with tweezers, just in case). The second time was a nice sized staple in the road. You can have all the liners you want, but something like that is definitely getting through if you hit it at the wrong angle. I fixed it both times, and the tire has gone strong since then. Other tires I had in the past would get flats all the time. I even tried adding a liner between the tire and the tube in an older set of tires. Glass still got through, and it just made the tires heavy. These are pretty lightweight. They won't protect you against every flat (if you start riding over nails, they're gonna make it through), but it can protect better than most. So, in summary, I've gotten very good traction with these tires in slippery conditions (still gotta watch out for that black ice, but I've been surviving so far!), and have had pretty good protection against flats. After more than 2 years, they're starting to show some wear, so I'll probably be buying the same ones again! :-)

I use these on my tadpole trike. Easy to change....20".....not sure why others are having issues as I didn't even need a tool to mount them. Getting them off the rim does require some technique.....I did bend a single metal tire lever! But these have good puncture resistance and good rolling resistance. Not as puncture resistant as the marathon plus tires, but not as stiff and they ride well.

This tire replaced the front tire on my 1976 Schwinn Varsity. This tire came in it's full natural form in a large flat box, not twisted and turned and squeezed into a small box, like many others, which I did not like. I carefully mounted this new tire on the rim with the same tube, made sure the tube was spread out evenly, and took it up to 95psi, it's rating. No issues, stayed tight on rim. I lowered it to 90psi to make the pressure in the back tire. I only just put 2 miles on it, but it was perfectly round and balanced, no issues of being out of round (as was reported for some of the tires stuffed in small boxes). I can't comment on the durability since I only just put 2 miles on to test it, but as far as I can tell at this time, it's a good tire and I would recommend it to anyone.

These a "future" front tires for my TerraTrike!. I've been riding on their "Triker" tires for quite some time now (& they'd ridden great- & held up very well! But aren't available now- So this is the closed tire- for my use anyway- & should do very sell! Since the Sportster is my transportation "post-stroke- (med caused in Feb 2001-at 44-lllooonnnggg coma-ssslllooolllyyy out- right side paralyzed-& improvement continues!) I ride EVERYWHERE - & the Schwalb tires are great!

Great tires for my Dahon Mariner

I rode several more miles after noticing the green rubber tread-wear indicator showing through on these 5+ year old Marathons. That made it an easy decision to replace them with the same model. The price I pay for these tires is well worth it and the peace of mind that comes from the green wear feature makes them even better. I ride a recumbent tricycle on pavement and gravel and never need to think about traction. I also love the reflective banding on the tires that compliments the theme of retroreflective tape I use to decorate my ride. It looks super cool at night and stands out to keep me safe. I also have the 26" Marathon on the rear, as you can tell from the pic.

Love how they have it in 27" so I can put nice puncture-resistant tires on my vintage road bike (Raleigh Grand Prix made in the 1970s) after the old gumwall ones started cracking. Most varieties of tires are only available in 700C so the best tires I can find for my 27" are these. My only gripe is that they only come in 1 1/4" which seems a bit too wide. They're heavier than other tires I've seen and I do notice an increase in rolling resistance but I'm a commuting cyclist, so I'd rather sacrifice speed for reliability and confidence. These give a good grip on the road under most conditions and offer puncture resistance to ensure that I won't get a flat and become stranded in the middle of nowhere. They're not as quiet and smooth as the Serfas Survivors I've had before but they're more cushiony. The reflective siding makes me feel better when I ride home at dusk. The tyres are very tight, hard to install but I think they're worth the effort. These feel durable and I think I won't have to take them off for a long long time. Wish the other Schwalbe puncture resistant tires come in the same size. 3 month update: I haven't repumped them since installation and I'm happy to report that I haven't had a single flat! Granted, most trips I make are <3 miles and on well-paved surfaces but I think being able to survive for that long with no mishaps is a testament on its own. I love these tyres!

This review is to educate prospective tire buyers of a confusing situation with tire sizes. First Schwalbe makes top quality tires. What you need to know is that if you use the U S sizing you are very apt to get a tire that won't fit. My trike came with Marathon tires, the rear being a 26 X 1 1/2. I decided to get something a little narrower and have it on hand when it came time to replace. I ordered a 26 by 1 3/8 Marathon and hung it up until needed. Several months later it was time . I removed the rim and tire and when I went to install the new tire it fell over the rim without touching it. What??? Right on the tire it said 26 X 1 3/8. On closer examination it also said 37 X 590 . For a 26 inch tire the 590 should have been 559. If you look at Schwalbe's website the 37 X 590 is listed as equaling a 26 X 1 3/8. There are also other cross references for that same size, in short, a confusing mess. Additionally the original 26 inch tire has a 22 inch ID, the new 26 inch tire has a 23 inch ID hence the falling over the rim without touching incident. Please learn from my error, use the ETRTO (metric) sizing when you order tires. I also ordered too far ahead because the return window was closed by the time I found the problem. Anyone need a tire swing for a small child?

16inスポーツサイクル（注文生産）に使用。 購入時に装着されていたタイヤがパンクしてしまい、ソリッドタイプのノーパンクタイヤ（チューブ）を試しましたが、走行感が全く変わってしまい（加速しない/惰性が続かないetc）使いものにならなくなってしまったので、パンク耐性タイヤで名の通っている本品を試しました。 本品は、加速感/惰性の伸びetcもオリジナルタイヤに遜色無く、コーナリング時の感覚が少し違う程度でした。 使い始めて数ヶ月で、耐久性のテストはこれからですが、実績の有るタイヤなので、安心感はあります。

Have used these in several vintage Raleigh cycles over the years. Not only do they closely match the original Dunlop’s thin whitewall, they are a superior quality tire with puncture protection and last for years with proper care. Invest in them.

子どもを乗せる電動自転車ブリヂストンビッケの交換タイヤとして使用。ブリヂストンの電動自転車は前輪ホイールにモーターがあるため、前輪の摩耗が早いです。（前後に子どもを乗せる事もあり重量負荷も高い）。そのため、24×1.75サイズで選べる選択肢の中では信頼性の高いこちらを選びました。これまで使用していたタイヤと比べて明らかに剛性高く、エアボリュームもあり乗り心地が良くなりました。また、モーター駆動のグリップもしっかりと路面に伝えている感覚があり、明らかに速くなりました。トータルで見た時のライフサイクルでもコスパ良いのではと思います。

I have a tadpole trike and love the knowledge of having the best quality tires on board.

buona tenuta in tutte le condizioni, prezzo contenuto, peso contenuto per essere "antiforatura" rispetto ad altre gomme di altre marche, e ad altri sistemi (liquido riparatore nella camera d'aria, strisce applicate dentro il copertone, ecc) a tutto vantaggio della guidabilità. l'inserto di 3mm sotto la parte piu esposta del battistrada, sembra efficace, ad oggi in effetti, non ho avuto alcuna foratura
