I use these on my tadpole trike. Easy to change....20".....not sure why others are having issues as I didn't even need a tool to mount them. Getting them off the rim does require some technique.....I did bend a single metal tire lever! But these have good puncture resistance and good rolling resistance. Not as puncture resistant as the marathon plus tires, but not as stiff and they ride well.

私は片道20キロ1時間、晴れの日も雨の日も雪の日もクロスバイクで通勤しています。使って1年経ちましたがパンクは０回、していません。しかも、減りも少ない。自転車の保管は屋根のない外ですが、品質劣化（ヒビ、裂け、切れ）もありません。少し値段が高いですが長持ちすることパンクしないことを考えればお得です。

I've had these in my main bike for 5 years now - and they hold up amazing! I ride often, have done rides through major cities and country roads. I have had zero flats! Worth every penny and the only tires I'll buy. What I hate though is how hard they are to get on.

I was not thrilled at spending this much money on bike tires but I am glad I did. It took a bit to get used to the feel of the new tires but now I really like them. They have a good grippy feel to them and feel very secure while riding. They are a heavier tire than my previous ones and that lends to the perception of a more secure ride. They are also a bit stiffer ride but I also find that to be a positive. I recently rode on some bumpy gravel surfaces for several miles (unfortunately) and found the tires to be very compliant. My overall impression is that they are a solid tire. Although I cannot comment on how well they prevent flats, I recommend them.

今の所2万キロに1回程度しかパンクしていないので信頼しています。寿命は車重体重乗り方で全然ちがいますが1万キロいけますね

16inスポーツサイクル（注文生産）に使用。購入時に装着されていたタイヤがパンクしてしまい、ソリッドタイプのノーパンクタイヤ（チューブ）を試しましたが、走行感が全く変わってしまい（加速しない/惰性が続かないetc）使いものにならなくなってしまったので、パンク耐性タイヤで名の通っている本品を試しました。本品は、加速感/惰性の伸びetcもオリジナルタイヤに遜色無く、コーナリング時の感覚が少し違う程度でした。使い始めて数ヶ月で、耐久性のテストはこれからですが、実績の有るタイヤなので、安心感はあります。

取り付けてまだ1年程ですが、毎日の使用でもほとんど溝が減りません。極小さなヒビが、一つくらいです。弱点を挙げるなら、若干滑るかもしれない点と、重量がある点です。しかしこれらを加味してもあまりある耐久性の為、これが良いと思うならおすすめです。軽さやグリップ力を期待するなら避けた方が良いと思います。

Ordering experience was excellent on this next-to-impossible-to-find tire size (20x1.75) in Thailand. From order to receipt took 5 days going from the U.S. to SE Asia. Very impressed.The product itself did not disappoint. Tires are well made and no blemishes were noticed. Tire tread is thicker than the Kendas they replaced. I purchased these for extra puncture resistance. There is a lot of broken glass on the streets of Bangkok and that did my other tires in.Compared to other tires, installation was a bit of a challenge. The bead is tough and tire knives will be needed. Just make sure to observe the rotation indicator on the tire sidewall. It should be intuitive as the brand “Schwalbe” going left to right is the correct rotation for these tires. The reflecting stripe looks good on my all-black Dahon and is a marginal visibility improvement.Some reviews mentioned the Marathons were slow. I did not find that true. From day one they roll smoothly and have good traction. I still find them quicker than my original tires. It is best to keep these tires pumped up around max pressure (~70 psi) for best performance.

I'm going into my 3rd winter season with this tire now. I can't recommend it enough. I ride throughout the winter, often in some of the worst weather conditions. I used to take a lot more falls on my bike before I had these tires. I've hit some slippery patches, but I don't think I've actually fallen off my bike at all since I started using these tires.As far as flats go: I've had these tires on my bike for more than 2 years now (which is a pretty dang long time for a single set of tires), and I've gotten 2 flats. One was from glass. I could tell when I changed it that the piece of glass had taken a while to work its way through. I also found a lot of other pieces of glass in the rubber that never made it through the liner (spent some time picking them all out with tweezers, just in case). The second time was a nice sized staple in the road. You can have all the liners you want, but something like that is definitely getting through if you hit it at the wrong angle. I fixed it both times, and the tire has gone strong since then. Other tires I had in the past would get flats all the time. I even tried adding a liner between the tire and the tube in an older set of tires. Glass still got through, and it just made the tires heavy. These are pretty lightweight. They won't protect you against every flat (if you start riding over nails, they're gonna make it through), but it can protect better than most.So, in summary, I've gotten very good traction with these tires in slippery conditions (still gotta watch out for that black ice, but I've been surviving so far!), and have had pretty good protection against flats. After more than 2 years, they're starting to show some wear, so I'll probably be buying the same ones again! :-)

Love how they have it in 27" so I can put nice puncture-resistant tires on my vintage road bike (Raleigh Grand Prix made in the 1970s) after the old gumwall ones started cracking. Most varieties of tires are only available in 700C so the best tires I can find for my 27" are these.My only gripe is that they only come in 1 1/4" which seems a bit too wide. They're heavier than other tires I've seen and I do notice an increase in rolling resistance but I'm a commuting cyclist, so I'd rather sacrifice speed for reliability and confidence. These give a good grip on the road under most conditions and offer puncture resistance to ensure that I won't get a flat and become stranded in the middle of nowhere. They're not as quiet and smooth as the Serfas Survivors I've had before but they're more cushiony.The reflective siding makes me feel better when I ride home at dusk. The tyres are very tight, hard to install but I think they're worth the effort. These feel durable and I think I won't have to take them off for a long long time. Wish the other Schwalbe puncture resistant tires come in the same size.3 month update: I haven't repumped them since installation and I'm happy to report that I haven't had a single flat! Granted, most trips I make are
