Awesome gravel road tire
Pros: Durable, Rugged, High Quality, Versatile
Cons: Expensive
"These tires are worth their weight in gold on the gravel road. Supple ride that performs well in all conditions. Rolls fast for the amount of tread on the tire. Performs well at high and low pressures. This tire won't leave you stranded in the middle of no where. Fairly expensive, but if you don't want to worry about flats then it is worth it."

Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Versatile, excellent grip
"This is my second set of Marathon Extreme tyres, the first set lasted almost 3 years. Excellent traction, smooth rolling for a 35cc tyre. I use these to go anywhere on my 'cross bike, mud, rocks, pavement and even light snow.
The tyre casing is super tough, did not have a single puncture or pinch flat. On one epic ride I slammed a rock so hard that it dented my rim and chipped some of the ceramic coating off. Didn't notice it until I came home because I still didn't flat.
I was really surprised at how well they work in mixed conditions including mud. The lugs will load up if you ride in the sticky, peanut buttery muck but they will clear out eventually. I can't find these in the United States anymore, luckily Wiggle has them in stock!"

Worth the money
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Versatile
Cons: Poor Fit
"I have always been fairly loyal to Schwalbe on the cross bike, but after changing my daily ride to slightly more rugged terrain, I was getting at least one puncture a week on the rear. After changing to these I haven't had a single puncture, and the money I am saving on inner tubes will easily outweigh the cost of the tyre.
On a more technical note, the tyre performs well on road , dusty and muddy terrain. the rolling resistance on the road is low, grip is great in the dry and wallow is minimized in the wet. will be sticking with this tyre.
My only gripe is that the tyre is extremely difficult to fit - took me a good 15 minutes in the house - I am hoping that it will have stretched by the time I have to do a repair in the field."

Great commuting tyres
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
"Auckland in NZ rains like Seattle but its warmer - so glass sticks to your tyres and its "puncture city" in winter. These tyres have only had one puncture in a year - a bent six inch nail - which would have destroyed any other tyre"

excellent tyre
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"Brought for my cube commuter bike and well worth every penny they were easy to fit and have excellent grip with a very thick puncture protection strip you can feel the quality of the tyre and feel confident you will get from A to B without a puncture. They are quite expensive but well worth the price."
