What customers say about "Key Specs"
Continental Touring Plus Reflex Bike Tire
- The bike feels completely different after installing. Much lighter and better ride! I think the dimensions are perfect for my bike.
- I had this tires for about one month, I rode 560 miles without any problems. very smooth rides and good price.
- Better that the Shwalbes for half the price. My choice for summer tires. Good value. No flats as of yesterday.
- I bought a new Kent bicycle, blew tube before I ever rode it so replaced tires and tubes with these tires and I love them! Handles great and look better!
- The tires are very quiet and handle well. I have not detected any squirming when going through hard corners.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS Wire Tire
- Installed like a dream. No problem fitting over the rims at all.
- They ride like a dream and easily handled all the weight for a loaded tour plus me.
- The Schwalbes are excellent commute tires with great grip and low rolling resistance. I have 500 miles on them now with almost no signs of wear and ZERO flats.
- They're a smooth ride and offer greatly reduced roll resistance, especially from a stop. They're quick and easy to install.
- Probably the most difficult tire to install- took me 3 hours to get one tire on and the back tire never went on the rim.

What customers say about "Features"
Continental Touring Plus Reflex Bike Tire
- Based on the excellent performance I had purchased a spare tire to have on hand. Replacement was easy, both on removal and of the old and installing the new.
- This tire is more than capable of going off-road - though I imagine traction would be an issue if muddy or slippery off-road situations. On the road it grips excellent.
- They were very easy to install, and roll fantastic!
- Great tire - durable with deep tread. I prefer Continental over other brands because they seem to last longer and provide excellent traction.
- The plus barrier seems to be decent protection for urban street riding - well anyway about one year plus no flats yet -that's not too bad considering my past experience with other tires.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS Wire Tire
- They go on easy, they have a very nice reflective sidewall, they're less expensive, and the ride is so smooth. It kind of feels like a have a little suspension on my commuter bike.
- I trust these tires more than any other tire on my e-bike.
- These tires are excellent in the rain. They are high pressure, so they have the low rolling resistance I prefer.
- These tyres grip well and with enough air can help you go faster, and i love the reflective strip on the sidewall.
- Installation was one of the worst I've experienced for a tire. The rubber is so unforgiving that getting the tire bead to stay seated is almost impossible without extra assistance.
