Review on 🚴 SCHWALBE Marathon E-Plus Smart Dualguard Addix-E Bike Tire with Wire Bead by Joshua Mejia

These tires are great! They fit perfectly on my bike. The reflective strip on the side shines like the SUN in the headlight/camera flash and I was glued to the street/sidewalk even at high speeds. delicate materials that should not be creased. You are not Mtn. Bike tires you buy at Walmart. They were rolled/rolled/rolled into a large "ball" and stuffed into an Amazon bag. After I "unraveled" them, they were horribly deformed. I had to let them hang out of the box for a few days to get them back to some kind of normal shape. But the end result was that the side panels and sides were bent out of shape. This made them VERY difficult to fit onto my wheels without fear of pinching the tubes when inflating. What should have been a 10 minute change took nearly an hour to ensure they were safely inflated. Because they were deformed, the balloon actually popped out a few times when I tried to inflate them, forcing me to deflate, adjust and try again. Then let them rest on the bike for a day or two in hopes that they will return to their normal shape before I feel saved from cycling. This is the ONLY reason I give these tires 4 stars out of 5.
