This tire is very durable. I never get any flats . And they wear forever
Review by Brad
I like these tires because you don't get flats hardly ever.

Great tire for the daily street rider.....Like the treat and minimal roadtire interface
Review by MB
Incredibly fast rolling and superior grip tire! Had experience with these tires while living in Germany....Excellent wear properties and flat protection A. Make sure the tire bead is seated properly on your clincher rims before inflating it to 90 PSI.

I use this tire for my work commute year-round. I've been riding Schwalbe Marathons for about 4 yrs. and recommend them to anyone who wants to ride a ton of miles with a loaded down bike and not worry about flats. The reflective strip around the tire is super bright when new but gets dulled out with road grit and wear but it still helps visibility. The new green guard belt makes a great tire even better.
Review by Teacher Commuter
I have used Schwalbe Marathon tires to commute to work for almost 5 years. During these past nearly 10,000 miles of riding I have gone over glass, rocks, pieces of metal, sticks, and other assorted road debris. I have had 1 only flat from a screw nail. The tire grips the road well in rain, holds 100 psi, has a reflective sidewall, lasts for 1000's of miles, etc. What more could you ask from a tire?

Schwalbe tires some of the most durable tires I have ever used. These are on my commuter which I need to be reliably flat proof and after a few hundred miles fit the bill. Schwalbes are a bit pricey but on sale are an excellent bargain.

I commute twenty miles each day on a Toureasy recumbent bike. I have the Schwalbe Marathon 700c GreenGuard on the rear. I love the relective stripe because it gives me additional visiable and the 95 PSI Max gives me a faster and very comfortable ride. Schwalbe also makes this tire in a 20', that I have on the front. It is great to finally have the same tires on the front and rear even if they are not the same size.

I purchased these tires after getting 3 puncture flats in one afternoon riding my Kenda Kwickrollers. I purchased these and havent had a flat since. Reflective strip adds a bit of style appeal with the other white accents on the bike also.

Commuting in Montana means using a variety of roads and trials paved or not to get to work. These tires have withstood lots of surfaces. They seem bomb proof.

I use this tire for replacement commuting tires on hybrids, or for a fatter tire on touring bikes.

As good as the original Marathon tires are, these are better! only slightly heavier, but with a LOT better puncture protection.

I've used Schwalbe Duranos and Marathons for long distance self-supported bike touring. I like their durability and overall performance. The reflective side walls on the Marathons are a great safety feature for night riding. I've also used Stelvios and Ultremos on century rides for their low rolling resistance light weight.
None of these tires are cheap but I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for.
