   I purchased the Schwalbe Marathon Plus in the 26 X 1.5 size. I installed it and it mounted easily on Mavic XC717 Disc specific rims. The bead popped on easily and evenly. The labeling on these tires reads Marathon Plus 40-559 (the first number (40) is the tire width in millimeters. The second number (559) is the tire diameter in millimeters). 26″ X 1.50″. Perf, Smart Guard TwinSkin Compound: EC. Made in Vietnam. This tire is marked a #7 on Schwalbe Protection Scale #1 being the low and #7 being the highest protection. This tire is suitable for electric bike use according to the literature, however it is not tubeless ready. The packaging also had a pictorial showing proper installation and inflation, nice. There is a white reflective stripe on the sidewalls. The tires are also marked with directional arrows so I had to make sure that the arrows pointed in the direction of travel.Riding on these tires felt a little rougher than the smoothy tires they replaced, partially because of the tread and partially because of the sturdy, wire bead, thicker sidewalls and SmartGuard belt. They ride quietly and inspired a feeling of confidence. There is an increase in pedal effort but is mitigated a small degree when inflated to max 95 PSI. Even at cruising speed constant speed is harder to maintain. My main complaint is the dead feeling of a tire of this type. You won’t be racing with these tires.I am familiar with cheap Chinese tubes and tires. Tubes burst, tires blowout and the bead is always crooked. I am finding that Schwalbe is a higher quality product. To me, paying extra is worth it for peace of mind. I recommend these tires for anyone who wants a safe and quality tire.

   I got these to replace some old slicks. I’m a Clydesdale+ commuter on a 2001 Cannondale F500 who rides 75-100 miles a week. I don’t want any other tire under me from now on.Pros:* Smooth riding. It was like getting a new bike when I first put these on. Smooth and comfy ride.* Good grip on pavement. After 3 years and thousands of miles in California conditions, I’ve never had an issue with traction, wet or dry.* Bulletproof. On my old tires I was getting one or two punctures a week, even with inserts. I haven’t had a flat yet in those 3 years and thousands of miles (knock wood, cross fingers).* Super visible. I ride in the dark almost exclusively. The reflective strip was a new thing for me. I won’t ride on the road without them any more.* Long lasting. I’m a super Clydesdale. These tires are wearing really well. Later this year I expect to swap front and back tires to get many more miles.Cons:* Very tight fitting. The beads are very stiff and very tight on the wheel. When I first installed them, I thought I’d snap my plastic tire levers. Makes me worry about a roadside flat. Bike mechanic friend tells me that they stretch the beads a little before they install them. Hasn’t been an real issue yet.* Sipes pick up gravel every once in a while. Not a big deal, but for a rider used to slicks and lots of flats, the sound freaked me out for a while.* Absolutely no grip on dirt or leaf litter. To be expected, but I had a few shocks before I learned my lesson.

   This is my second set of Schwalbe tires.Much cheaper tires can be found but when you consider their lifespan you’ll save money with these high mileage tires..Furthermore, and I know that I should’t jinx myself by saying this but, my last set went 4,000 miles with no flats and my current set is at ~1,000 miles also with no flats.A nail or sharp chunk of metal in the right position on the road will give most any tire a flat but these have yet to succumb to the foxtails, glass bits and other debris constantly on the side of the road that I don’t always have time to react to.Previous tires would have me wrenching on the side once or twice a year and usually when I’m trying to be onetime for something. Spending an extra $25-$30 is a small price to pay to keep those delays at bay as much as possible.If you have a heavily-braced electric hub in you rear wheel like I do then you know removing it to repair a flat, is twice the time as a regular quick release setup. Compounding the reason to invest in a quality tire.This road tread is not made for trails but dirt roads are doable. Where tires shine is in the rolling factor on the pavement. The speedo on my mountain bike-turned-commuter tells me that I’m rolling an average of 2-3 MPH faster with the same effort compared to the previous tires.If you’re a regular rider, you’ll appreciate the quality and ultimate savings.Highly recommended.

   I’ve done big bike touring where I was pretty much patching a flat every day. Commuting where I was fixing a flat every couple of weeks. But these tires… No. No more of that. I’ve had these on my bikes now for about 5 years and my biggest concern is that I’ll get a flat and not be ready for it.My only complaint about my experience with these tires is kind of general to all bike tires and it involves the fit. I got 26×1.35 and on some high quality Mavic rims they went on fine – no tire levers needed. But on some rims from a stock Trek bike, these tires would crush the rims before they would snap on. I just wish tire and rim manufacturers would make it easier to know what combinations will be easy, hard, and impossible.

   I’ll take every penalty associated with puncture-resistant, heavy sidewall tires, because the only times I get flats are when I’m running late, during a thunderstorm, when it’s either 100F or -20F degrees out. Also, these tires tend to get a lot of miles, too.
