Schwalbe makes it again

I bought a pair of 28 x 1.75 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires for my bike 350 miles ago and that's my opinion. Your results will of course vary. The tires fitted the rims very well for me and I inflated them to the correct pressure and test drove them. Rolling resistance was MUCH less than the factory tires I replaced and the ride was smoother. The response when accelerating into the corner was impressive, I didn't feel like the tires were slipping under me. I ride both city streets and paved bike paths and these tires seem to absorb small bumps and typical pavement seams. There's quite a bit of sand and other debris on the track at times and this tire holds up there but clearly isn't for mud. I live in a hilly town and can get 30mph going down some of those hills and the vibration is ZERO like other tires I've had in the past! Just this morning I drove to work after the rain and the roads were still wet. I turned at the bottom of the hill at 20mph and felt like I was glued to the road with no skidding or anything. This is a directional tire, so install it correctly the first time. The reflective sidewall helps but I know it won't last long even though my bike is stored indoors and not while riding. Will I buy Schwalbe tires again? YES SIR. will I put them on my wife's bike? YES SIR
