Review: Ran over broken glass bottles and not a flat in 5 months of riding. - I've been riding on these tires since May and I have yet to have a problem with flats. These 38mm are a perfect medium for urban roads, hard packed dirt, and gravel. Anything heavier than light gravel and they start washing out and slipping in steep climbs. If you encounter more dirt than pavement you should look elsewhere for more mountain-ready tires. However, I use these tires primarily for city riding and light dirt trails and these tires are amazing. I have literally rolled over broken bottles in the street and explosively shatter them with the impact and there aren't even any bits of glass embedded in the tires. I've taken these tires on day-long rides through San Francisco and Oakland and it's a nice peace of mind to confidently roll through glass and not have to swerve into the car lane to preserve tires. To underline the toughness of the tire, the seam where the two sides of the tires are mated together that runs on the center of the tire has yet to wear down. A little strip of rubber that generally wears off in the first few weeks of riding is still proudly present on these tires. The downside is that these tires are heavy and stiff, if you're concerned about that sort of thing. But I doubt you're a weight weenie and more of a person looking for a reliable tire that will last and looking for peace of mind when riding in dicey pavement conditions on your way to work. These are a steal at twice the price. Think about it, how often are you digging glass out of your tires and changing tubes when you're en route and in a time crunch? Get these tires.
Review: No flats for 3 years - I put a set of these on my bike after finally losing it with flat after flat after flat. It seemed all I was doing was fixing flats, throwing away tubes and I was starting to dread getting on my bike - another flat today? I read about these and researched a lot of reviews and finally decided to take the plunge. I am SO glad I did. 3 years later NOT ONE SINGLE FLAT, even in serious sticker country like New Mexico. The tires are definitely on the heavy side and I added almost 2 lbs to the weight of my bike but it is well worth it since now I don't even think about flats anymore. I can't bring myself to not carry an extra tube and a pump but I could easily have NOT carried those for all this time and never had a problem. I find the tires ride fine, no particular difference in feel vs standard road tires, and I have tried all the top brands. The durability is outstanding - I am easily getting twice the tread life out of these than any tire I have ever used. The 700 x 25 is pretty low profile once mounted and inflated so it keeps my road bike looking like a road bike. I found mounting was much easier if I used a cord to tie the tire securely to the rim at one point then work my way around - very stiff and the tire would inevitably pop off at the critical moment before I used the tying down method. After that it went on pretty easy. The massive payoff though is the complete cessation of flat tires. I will gladly put up with a little extra weight (with no noticeable sacrifice in performance) for the peace of mind of being able to ride anytime anywhere without the specter of flat-fixing looming over the trip. 5 stars all the way for me - I will NEVER put a regular tire back on my bike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ULTIMATE commuter tires
*by A***E on July 7, 2009*

Let's face it: until drunks stop tossing their empties in the street and druggies stop punching out car windows to steal wallets, bicyclists will be running over glass, and tires will be going flat. This is enough of an annoyance when you're off to Quickie Mart to buy a loaf of bread, but it's positively vexatious when you are a commuter, when a flat tire often means you're late to work. Or late getting home when you're done with work. Bicycle manufacturers know this. That's why even the entry-level "commuter" or "utility" model bikes often come with puncture-resistant tires, like the Bontragers (quite good tires, by the way) that my Trek hybrid originally had, before they got so bad that even the punctures had punctures. I replaced them with these even though they had some tread left. That's the way it goes with puncture-resistant tires: once they get a few punctures, they become more susceptible to more punctures. A "vicious cycle," if you will. Anyway, Schwalbe is one of the premier bike tire brands. They're quite well-known in Europe, and less so in the U.S., except among "serious" riders. Cargo haulers swear by them, as do commuters. Reportedly, this is the single most popular commuter-type tire in Europe. Europeans know what's up; this tire is designed for heavy use in all urban conditions, wet and dry. Tread is good for damaged pavement--not too much, not too little--which is good because with the economic situation we're in, there's going to be a whole lotta pavement going bad in the next few years. If your pavement is REALLY bad, as in breaking apart, then I would recommend some tires with a fairly flat middle part and more of a mountain bike tread toward the edges to help with cornering, rather than the Marathons. Another thing these tire have going for them are the reflective sidewalls, which significantly increase your visibility when viewed from the side; this is a major consideration with so many drivers being either drunk or simply "out to lunch." Of course, the main selling point is the innovative puncture-resistant layer under the tread. Schwalbe is said to be the best in this regard, but I haven't had these tires long enough to comment on that. The shards will assuredly put them to the test in due time. I can say that, unlike some other "ruggedized" tires, their rolling resistance is no higher than the last ones I had, nor did I notice an increase in weight. All in all, I'm very happy with the Schwalbes. True, they are expensive, but the axiom about getting what you pay for is especially true with bicycle tires, perhaps the single most important component on the bike, and ironically, also the most overlooked. Outfitting your bike with good parts, especially good tires, does pay real dividends in terms of safety, and also in terms of long-term maintenance costs (since they need less frequent replacement.) Cheapo tires, in addition to having a shorter lifespan, often fail completely (and painfully) from incidents that only superficially damage premium tires.
