Schwalbe Marathon

I'm thinking of buying these for my commuter bike given their performance in the wet etc.

Does anyone have anything bad to say about them??

Also, I cant seem to see them anywhere for less than £20 each - can anyone beat this??

Thanks

I like them but they are hard rubber so they don't give high grip. but they do last and last.

A great tyre. Hard wearing and grippy enough. The version with a reflective sidewall is brilliant for commuting.

As for price, there were loads of places selling them for about £11 up until very recently but the cheapest that I could find them for just now is £13.99:

the last three round the world cycling record holders have used either marathon pluses or durano pluses (<----my choice)

Used mine for the last 18 months - nothing bad to say at all.
