This comparison is a great service for people shopping for tires, thanks very much for making it. I have the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, I don't have much to compare them to, but I can say they are tough (I live in Utah and we have thorns everywhere). They are not the most agile I know that, but the way the conditions are around here, you really need puncture resistance unless you don't mind fixing flats. On edit: I would emphasize that I use my bike for commutes over varied surfaces and trips all around, so I find myself rolling over all sorts of surfaces.

Thank you! Maybe I don't do enough justice to the Marathon Plus. It's a very good tire and if one needs good puncture protection, the weight and the traction should not put them off. Also, the difference in many of these aspects is pretty small. Honestly, if I rode my bike with one of these tires mounted randomly and I was blindfolded, I'd crash my bike.... I mean, I'd have a hard time telling you which exactly it is.

@Frank-mn4hx Жыл бұрын
The marathon plus is the tire I use. It's the best i ever use. I've had other brands but, NOT as good as the marathon plus. It can be a little harder to mount it on the rim but, that's normal for a tire as strong as this. It's also one of the most expensive tires. The marathon E-plus is even more expensive. For the modern bikes and E-bikes is the best. The most bikes I know use these tires. I used very cheap tires for a short time. That are the worst tires EVER. No procetion and these wear down extrremely fast. Then I used the RUMA Standard. Good but, not for longer than 7000km. Now I usethe marathon PLUS. Never had a flat for 7500km and still enough profile. They are the best I've ever used. Although I use thesecond set. After replacing it after 7600km. The protective layer (yellow) as showing.

Followed your recommendation and went for the Continental Contact Plus in size 42-622. Bought 2 pairs for my 2 commuter/trekking bikes. I am over the moon, the ride is so much better. The best tyres ever! Mounting them on my 19mm wide rims could not have been easier. It took me less than 3 minutes per wheel to get them on and inflated to the desired pressure. Absolutely incredible. So in contrast to your experience, no pinching of inner tube. Had this with the Marathon Plus, a real nightmare to mount. In addition, I was never really happy with the grip provided by the Schwalbes. I did however mount the tyres in my yard on a nice and sunny day. Left the tyres out in the sun for about 15 min. prior to installation. Could that have done the trick, i.e. by making the rubber more supple? Thank you so much for your excellent review.

A good review, just one thing about RideTour - I have it for over three years now and one thing I really notice is the grip. It is always grips, even on loose gravel early in the spring, I think you can argue better why you don't give it more points in the durability round. The only person I know get a puncture with it was a 130 kg rider that use 28 mm narrow tiers at the time - on sharp gravel. Well, I am bias, I love these tiers. Also I really like that this clip isn't just marketing Schwalbe Marathon Plus!

This was very helpful. I think the only concern I have about Continental is a lot of reviews out there about super inconsistent sizing that's made me a bit cautious. I like the look of the WTB All Terrain, but wish it had some puncture resistance, and that's basically what the Ride Tour gets. But they sure seem like a good balance of features for the price, which is sweet.

Clarification needed: In your review of the Marathon Plus in regards to grip: "The profile of this tire is pretty round and I thought the contact patch would be a bit too narrow with the road, but honestly, even on wet road, it offered plenty of grip." In this video, you said the continentals were a bit grippier than the Schwalbe tires. My understanding based on the measured rolling resistance of the aforementioned tires is that their grip is comparable to one another(Credit to BikeRollingResistance). Essentially, not significant enough to have an edge over the other. It would make for an interesting video to see a head to head, albeit with the newest contenders: Continental has put out a new Contact Urban tire that has better wet grip due to their new activated silica tire compound. Schwalbe has put out a new Marathon Almotion tire that has better grip utilizing their Addix compound. Anyhow... time for a new Video! As an anecdotal note: I've been using the Marathon Plus in Seattle going on 8 years now and have NEVER had the tire slip on corners. The one time I managed to make it slide, it was snowing and I was going down hill over 30 miles an hour on Seneca Street and noticed a red light a bit late. I still managed to stop and look like a professional stunt man with the bike skidding to a side stop... I.E. Lucky. Anyhow, I'd love to see an updated video!

I’ve tried all of them apart from the GT…. Weirdly enough I prefer gravel king SK on a 35c…700 pumped to 40 psi… It’s still fast on a road bike, but you can still go off road easy as they are gravel tyre, I can still hit 27 mph . But I’ve done 100km straight on and off road no punctures Out of the Ines you’ve listed… I like marathon plus for puncture protection The continentals, I though we’re a bit stiff (for my off road road) , nice tyres though, you cant go wrong would also to be handy to know, versatility when wet… as on a muddy path… muddy hill. For me… most of them get a 0… But depends on the hill in your area… gravel tyres obviously get a higher score. The gravel kings could border on mtb .. but performance of a road tyre Awsome review… weirdly enough, out of that specific list… marathon plus my faves… but I’m going just in puncture protection real live experience… I’ve had them on my old mtb for 15 years+. No punctures, very very durable. Heavy though, however….. I’d use a gravel tyre these days, I think for that extra comfort and ability to go off road, it is far better.

I have the Marathon 47-622 (15.000km no puncture) , the Marathon GT 47-622 (over 5000km without a puncture) and the Marathon MTB Plus 54-622 (over 7000km most off road withou a puncture) mounted on my bikes and I would say, that the GT is better in off road situations than the classic Marathon. I never had any traktion problems with each of the tyres and I never had a puncture with one them. The GT feels heavier while riding then the classic Marathon. The Marathon MTB Plus is just something for e-bikes. This tyre feels so damn heavy even comapred to real MTB tyres. The ultra high puncture protection kills the agility and the ride quality over all, but this thing can go thru everything. It's really unbelivable. But in the end, I think the classic Marathon is still the way to go for the all in on at a budget price. I never tested Contis, but it's really nice to see this comparsion. Thx a lot for your effort.

It needs to be at least the 85 psi written on them in the rear on my 28x1,50 " on my touring bike. I might have to consider going even higher now when I load it up for my vacation.

I was asking myself if the Schwalbe Marathon (recommended by my bike shop) is a good choice, and so I found this video. My experience comfirms with your test results (although I never had the Ride Tour or the Marahon GT): On an older bike I changed (I think ) a Marathon to a Marathon+. The Marathon+ seemed superstrong (and stronger) but also more difficult to handle and also a bit heavier and like I feel more bumps. On my current (most used bike) I once had a big stone in the middle of it tearing it down. BUT I pulled out the stone and kept on riding (so the inner tube was not affected) and later I asked where was the hole? I could not find it (weird). To summarize: that's the benefit of the puncture protection, and I highly recommend it. I think it was a Continental Contact+ but not sure. After that I did several more rides, ignoring it all, but after say 200 kilometers I did change it to Schwalbe Marathon, and I still use them today. The Schwalbe Marathon feel protectective, I can do crazy things with it and it works and great grip. It seems a great choice. (The price to me is not that important and I would rate them all a 4, but thats my opinion.)

have you any experience with Michelin Protek tires? how would they compare with Continental Ride Tours?
@Asfanboy111 ай бұрын
So I know nobody will probably answer but anyway. I need something that can handle a lot of weight and has decent puncture protection only street.

Hey, here’s nobody. For weight all of these are good. I’d pick the Contact Plus or the Marathon Plus for puncture protection.

I have a very hilly all road 14 mile commute I’m currently using kenda Happy medium pro 700x40 these tires have been great no flats but I’m getting some thin tread on the back tire can’t complain these tires are two years old. I was wondering what you would recommend with these choices? I’m using a hybrid bike. I seem to average around 11 mph so I’m comfortable with that speed.

I am mostly happy with my Schwalbe Energizer Active Plus on my Gazelle eBike. But will I fell a big upgrade with Schwalbe Marathon Plus Smart Guard in durability?
@BikeCommuterHero11 ай бұрын
I don’t have any experience with the Energizer Active Plus. Don’t change it if you’re happy with it, I’d say.

Hello! Anybody tried Schwalbe Big Apple? I have them on my birdy riese und müller. In general very nice comfortable ride, they're 2,15 I wanted to give it a try and get Schwalbe marathon racer 1,5 for even a better roll, not sure if it's a mistake. Any hints and tips are welcome!!
