Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x28c Wired Tyre with Smartguard Reflective Sidewall, 740g (28-622), Black with Reflective Sidewall

Arrived quickly, 2 tyres in package :-)These were fine to put on. once one side is on and the tyre slightly inflated it is carefully all pushed into place. Once ready, start putting the other side bead into the rim edge, let the inner tube down a bit making sure it won't catch on the tyre bead, then press the tyre into the centre of the rim on the opposite side to last bit to put on, as it is a smaller circumference to the outer edge and it goes on perfectly without tyre levers, especially metal ones!!! If you find they are too tight to put on, Halfords will charge you a tenner to do it. I will do it for £5... :-)

I have had one of these on my back wheel for a year or so and since mounting it have never had a puncture. Managed to tear my front tyre this week so got one to put on the front too. Make sure you put it on the right way for rotation, I managed to do mine backwards before realising. Then the second time I tore my inner tube, and snapped a tyre lever. Third time, with bleeding fingers, I got it on, but I can rest assured that until they wear out, I won't need to replace them again, they are that tough. They aren't the raciest tyre, but they aren't too slow for Strava either. As a commuter tyre they are unbeatable. As always, arrived next day, well packaged.

Awful!! One tyre was fine buy the other was clearly defective, completely different to the first one and would not fit on the tyre- seller refused to acknowledge the problem- v disappointing

I use Marathons for around 2000 miles commuting a year. The only punctures I’ve ever had are when I’ve worn through the tyre from use. Best tyres out there!

I have had one of these on my back wheel for several years and so far not one puncture. I now have one on the front as well and it provides a lot more grip on the road. Extremely pleased with these tyres. The fit on my rims is very tight, so it takes a lot of effort and you have to be careful not to trap the inner tube as I did on first fitting them.

My friend got a new bike recently and left the factory tyres on. Boy did he regret it. Three punctures in two weeks!Meanwhile, I went on a cycling holiday and decided to finally replace my years old Marathon Plus because they were so shredded, yet still going strong! Honestly they had holes in the tread and looked knackered but were absolutely rocking on.These are the only tyres I’ve had on my bike that have allowed me to feel comfortable and confident that I won’t get a puncture. Exactly what I need for commuting to work.

Not totally bulletproof :-(New puncture within weeks of installation.Hawthorn and blackthorn are sharp and tough.

Great delivery.tyres work well.
