- MARATHON PLUS TIRE: The most puncture resistant pneumatic tire there is. The patented, 5 mm thick SmartGuard layer has a significant advantage in rolling resistance. Also in the SmartGuard, we use a proportion of recycled rubber from old latex products. It now lasts much longer before deveolping unsightly cracks when subjected to use with insufficient air pressure. Due to its great properties Marathon Plus is the best choice for E-Bikes (E-25).
- WARRANTY: policy on all Schwalbe product purchased within North America. Our warranty term is 3 years following the original purchase date of the product, or 5 years from its production date - whichever occurs first.

Sounds kinda cool, but I installed a pair of these almost two years ago and haven't gotten a single flat since:

I used to get a flat a month. And they ride just like any other tire.
They look pretty good! Quite a bit lighter than the Marathon Plus (which is their biggest criticism) which is a good thing, but of course a thinner puncture protection.
A Marathon Plus in 700x32c is only £24.48 with free delivery here on Amazon
That is what I would get for only £1.59 more.
Nice. I haven't used that particular version of Schwalbe Marathon tires, but I'm sure they're great.
These are the ones I use. I like the tread pattern and these are the ones that people say are "bomb-proof". I commute 20 miles a day and I've ridden over all sorts of crap (LOTS of glass on my commute!) and the tires simply don't care. In fact, whenever I run over large glass fields I swear I hear the tires say "lol".
Thanks.
While I've got you, what's the difference between these two tires.
wire bead
other?
What does "wire bead" mean and why do/don't I want it?
