The green wear indicator and reflective banding makes these awesome
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.

The go-to tire for touring bikes
No air-inflated tire is flat-proof, but Schwalbe Marathons are close. Puncture resistance is important for long-distance cyclists, and these tires deliver. They also last a long time.

Good tire. Good price!
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.

Good traction, very few flats.
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! :-)

Seem to be just what I needed, but only time will tell.
These just came into the mail today, and I thought I'd share my thoughts.I bought these to replace the Bontrager tires that came on my Trek Verve 1. Size 700x35. I've gotten a few flats recently (I ride my bike around college as cars are expensive), and was recommended to replace the stock tires with something nicer. Specifically, I was recommended Schwalbes, and these are pretty much the only ones I could find that come in 700x35, so I ordered 2. They seem pretty competitively priced, but what do I know. It's $70 of tires for a $400 bike -.-First off, I know nothing about bicycle repair other than how to adjust the brakes. That being said, I had these tires on my bike in an hour and a half. I basically used only my bare hands. I deflated the old tubes, took off the old tires and tubes, placed the mostly deflated tubes into the new tires, and placed the new tires on the wheel. The hardest part was getting the tires on the wheel, requiring a good amount of elbow grease. I recommend starting at the air nozzle, and securing it. Then, I held that on my lag so it wouldn't fall out and started tucking in the tire. About 80% of the way through, this becomes impossible, requiring you to fold one side of the lining into the tube and once one side is done getting the other side in. I then inflated the tires halfway, and made sure they were inflating properly, and then inflated them to about halfway between their range. My old tires were rated 60-80psi, these are rated 55-85. I went to about 70. I then put the wheels back on the bike and tested em out.Upon riding on them... All I have to say is that they felt really weird. Turns just felt very different from what I was used to, and I didn't completely feel like I was in control of the bike. However, after about ten minutes of riding this went away somewhat, and I feel like I will get used to the new feeling as I ride the bike more. Everything seemed to go fine, but they definitely handle on road better than off road (although, so did my old tires). They also seem like they're build to withstand just about anything, as the rubber was very hard and they didn't seem to like any kind of manhandling, where as my old bontragers seemed like a dull butterknife could get past them. There's no real way to tell though, until I have more time riding in them.In all, these tires didn't seem 'that' hard to install, and if I knew what I was doing (or had a tire lever, apparently those help) I could have probably gotten them on in half an hour. They seem a little weird to ride on, but I think that's something I will get used to and is just a function of riding on different tires. They seem like they'll last a long time, and that's exactly what I bought them for. I'm going to keep the old tires around though, just to be safe.

5+ years later
I've had these in my main bike for 5 years now - and they hold up amazing! I ride often, have done rides through major cities and country roads. I have had zero flats! Worth every penny and the only tires I'll buy. What I hate though is how hard they are to get on.
