Schwalbe Marathon HS 368 Mountain Bicycle Tire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have about 400 miles on these tires now. I bought them to help with the problem of getting flats from thorns. They did do much better than my stock tires that came on the Trek. However I am still getting flats. Maybe I'll try the Marathon Supremes, they are supposed to be even better. Basically I was hoping for more from this tire at the price. However they are very nice on the trail and grip the road very well. If you dont have to deal with thorns then you should be fine with these.
