I have used this tire for years and actually put over 8,000 miles on a set for my Bike Friday with 20 inch wheels with zero flats! The 700c should easily go 10,000.

Very good tire which I purchased to stop getting flats from blackberry thorns. The stock tires that came with the bike from BikesDirect were cheap 35c Continental mud tires and replacement was overdue.

I commute to work every day and need a tire that resists punctures and provides good traction. The Marathon does both. Since switching to this tire, I have not had a single flat, riding over urban streets with the usual assortment of glass, puncture vines, screws, nails, etc.

I use these tires for an 18 mile round-trip commute. They're great dependable tires for commuting. I don't know why you would look further for a commutingtouring tire.

great product that has saved me a lot of time over the years in repairing punctures
it's a little too heavy and uncomfortable to ride for what it does

I live in Seattle, so I have the luxury of experiencing the all sorts of weather patterns. I've had these tires before and they are outstanding. They were on a bike i bought from a dude that rode from Texas, and they stil had 50ish% tread. Anyways great tires, they'll let you upright off you're riding with care, and tread life is great considering the price. As is the ride quality. Rolling resistance is what you'd expect from a tire with great puncture resistance, and tread. So yeah. Great commutertourer.

These tires come highly rated from all corners of the internet. I recommend them as much as I recommend most Schwalbe products, they seem like a company with integrity and their products speak for themselves. Nice tires, quality construction, good tread pattern.

I do a lot of riding and touring on chip seal and rough paved roads. Other touring tires last less than 1200 miles (rear tire), the last Schwalbe Marathon lasted nearly 3,000 miles. The heavy tread lasts and I have never had a flat with this tire. It is worth the extra weight.

If it lasts a long time I'll give it 5 stars for value. I like the reflective ring on the sidewalls. Tread works great for my urban riding.

I bought bike tires. My tires were old and when I got a flat I bought these new ones. I love them. I was lucky that I had a neighbor who put them on for me.

Great tires. Decent speed and comfortable ride. Fast delivery
Review by Spikeyracer
Bought this tire for my guest bike, didn't need the protection the Marathon Plus gives, but if I was riding this bike daily I would opt to spend the extra money for the Marathon Plus tires.

I have run over just about everything and no flats.
Highly recommend them.
I use 700x32
Review by 78 BIKER
INSTALLED TIRES ON MY HYBRID MARIN AND RODE OFF LIKE A CHAMPION BIKER. GOOD, SOLID TIRES WITH STRONG PUNCTURE RESISTANT CAPABILITIES. GOOD RIDE. WILL RECOMMEND. PLAN TO BUY MORE TIRES FOR MY OTHER BIKES. NO NEED FOR LINERS OR HEAVY DUTY TUBES.

Have used Schwalbe Marathons on my Tour Easy recumbent past 10 years . Get about 7000 miles in the rear, 14000 mile on the Front with the 40 x 406 tire before replacement.

Held up to the rigors of RAGBRAI, riding self-contained carrying all my necessary gear.....good tread still left on the tire after 500 miles.......
Review by Starbord
Great commuter tire. Good night visibility.
Review by RTT Rick
I ride 25 miles a day most days on the road and Rails to Trails. I want durable, high mileage, low maintenance tires. Schwalbe Marathons in 700x28 or 700x32 are the best I have found for my riding. My only complaint is they seldom go on sale.

A tough yet efficient tire.
Review by Dennis
I commute with this tire. It is not the lightest or fastest tire, but I bought it because it is so durable and reliable. I do not cringe if my path has glass sparkles or visible trash on it, I roll on thru with confidence. This tire is tough and I am on time!
