Review: Mounts like a wire bead tire. - I got the 700 x 32c. So far, so good. With all the griping about mounting I was a little concerned, however I found it mounted just like any other stiff wire bead tire. I massaged it on carefully and I used my tire levers in reverse to lever on the last 12-16" of tight fit on the outer bead. Of course, when doing it that way you have to be very careful not to pinch the tube. and I personally find that the easiest way to use the levers is sticking one in at one end of the gap and holding it there with my left hand while alternately using the other lever, taking very small bites, to pry the other end of the gap. Sometimes a third lever is useful if you can manage it. It only took me 15 minutes to mount. I could do this in the field but I wouldn't want to if i didn't have to. I formerly used the Marathon Supremes, which mount VERY easily but are very expensive. I opted for what I hope will be durability and cost effectiveness. I will keep this post edited once I've put miles on the tire. Oh, and my desertcart order registered for 700 x 25c even though I wanted 32's. Bikewagon responded to my e-mail and corrected my order before sending it. Much appreciated. EDIT 7/11/16 With about 300 miles on the tire, I can't discern any real-world difference between this and the Marathon Supreme in terms of pedaling effort. Perhaps it offers just a slightly harder ride but overall, not much change at all. No flats, no extra pumping... just a solid tire. I'm still very happy with this one.
Review: Awesome touring road tire - Let's say it up front. This is a heavy tire. However, it's heavy 'cause it's built like a tank. I've got over 900 miles on them and I can still see the front tire's mold line. Normally you'd think a tire that hard would be difficult to handle with poor cornering. Not so. Wet and dry the grip is good. I wouldn't go racing with it, but once you get it up to speed it rolls well. I run about 70 PSI and the tire soaks up minor road roughness very well. That's a good thing because my city doesn't maintain the streets as well as they once did. On smooth pavement the tire sings a sweet little tune that's just barely audible. They're not cheap, but they should last 2 to 3 times as long as a lightweight skinny tire. I seldom got more than 2000 miles from a 700x20, but then I weigh 90 kilos. For a commuter or long distance touring bike this is a great choice. PS: Don't believe the word out that the tires are hard to mount. However - there are tricks you MUST know. I mounted both tires in under 20 minutes _without_ tools. Brute force is NOT the answer. I use strapping tape to secure the parts of the tire that I've mounted and COMPRESS the casing so that the tire is pushed towards the unmounted side. After 4 or 5 taped areas about 8 inches apart I can then use my hands to push the casing over the rim. And of course you must be very cautious airing the tube to prevent blowouts.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Colorado goatheads?**
A: I thought our sandspurs here in FL were bad until experiencing the goathead thorns while in college in Colorado, the slime I had saved me that day but if the marathon tire can resist puncture by those thorns that's pretty impressive. BTW I have Marathons on my bike now, no problems and not too difficult to mount.

**Q: I'm trying to decide between these and the Schwalbe Marathon HS420 tires. Anyone have experience with both and would the SMP be worth the extra $23?**
A: I just used the Schwalbe HS (32mm) on a tour of Iceland.  On-road, off-road, ice storm, rain, no problems took a lot of abuse, fast and comfortable.  1200 miles and not a single puncture.

**Q: Which size would work on a 27x1 1/4 rim?**
A: Only 27 1 1/4 will work on a 27 1 1/4 rim. 700c won't fit because it is too small. To fit 27 1 1/4 you might also try searching "Schwalbe ISO 630".

**Q: Is this the HS 440 model or 348?**
A: Does not have a model number on the sidewall and unfortunately I cannot recall if the packaging on the tire identified model but I believe I checked to see they were 440's. Continue to love how they ride and their durability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... death it would be hard to install and ride like forklift tire
*by A***O on February 24, 2016*

After many reviews I was scared to death it would be hard to install and ride like forklift tire. Watched some videos on ebay on how to install and it only took 5 minutes a tire! 2 yeard ago i purchased panaracer peselas 700x28. rode nicely but were nmade of wet rice paper and flatted every other ride. Found some conti ultra sport II's 700x23 never went flat but I commute at night and felt like my bike was balancing on a razor blade after too much coffee. so for year and a half I ran Kenda Kwest 700x35. very few issues except for innertube valves blowing out. and were starting to get punctured this winter from road debris. So after 4 flat tires I made the plunge and ordered Marathon plus 700x28. I like larger tires but didnt want all the extra weight, And these are legendarily heavy and slow rolling. to my suprise they felt lite and nimble but stable as well. on the uphills I was in a higher gear than usual, the descents were confidence inspiring, and the flats Felt like I was drafting the baby Jesus on a magic carpet. I cannot comment yet on long term, but initial impressions are a superb tire and woth every penny!
