Review on SCHWALBE Marathon Endurance Clincher 30 70PSI by Travis Chavis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Durable, fast rolling and safe

This is my second set of Schwalbe tires. There are a lot cheaper tires out there, but when you factor in their lifespan, these high mileage tires will save you money. Also, and I know I shouldn't jinx myself by saying this, my last set ran 4000 miles without a puncture and my current one has 1000 miles without a puncture as well. A nail or sharp piece of metal in the right position on the road will puncture almost any tire, but these have yet to succumb to foxtails, broken glass, and other roadside debris that I don't always have time to react to. once or twice a year and usually when I'm trying to be up for something. Spending an extra $25-$30 is a small price to pay to avoid these delays as much as possible. twice as long as a traditional quick release installation. Exacerbates the reason why it pays to invest in a quality tire. This road profile is not designed for trails, but dirt roads are quite doable. Where the tires shine is in the rolling coefficient on tarmac. The speedometer on my mountain bike that has been converted into a commuter shows me that I can ride an average of 2-5 km/h faster with the same effort than with my previous tires. If you drive regularly, you'll appreciate the quality and ultimate savings. Highly recommended.
