SCHWALBE Marathon Endurance Clincher 30 70PSI Review

Every day I drive 20 miles back and forth on industrial roads full of debris and debris. I've used Armadillo Hemispheres in the past and they sag just like the $20 tires you get at Target. I've typically used a Tuffy tire liner with a Hemisphere Armadillo, then I've rarely had tire blowouts. After reading about Schwalbe's Marathon Plus tires I tried them without the Tuffy fender liner and they are great and virtually indestructible.

These were the toughest bike tires I have ever put on a bike, I broke the plastic lever and they are very unbalanced so will need to be adjusted on the rim if this is the case. Maybe.
