What customers say about "Key Specs"
Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HS 382 Touring Road Bike Tire
- I have bombed down hills at 40mph fully loaded and 45mph unloaded, and these tires soaked up all the bumps in the road to provide for a safe, exciting descent.
- The tires are also extremely supple, so they have excellent rolling resistance and it doesn't feel like you're being slowed down by your fat tires.
- In addition to wearing well, the pliant sidewalls give a more comfortable ride when you use a slightly lower pressure than the max.
- No more flat tires! I have not gotten a flat tire since I started riding with these Schwalbe tires.
- While these tires are a bit heavy, their durability, comfort, and low rolling resistance easily make up for it.
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"
Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HS 382 Touring Road Bike Tire
- Overall I feel confident on the bike with these tires. I also like the reflective sidewalls for nighttime visibility.
- I like the grip these give (ride in the rain a lot) vs. the regular Marathon or something like a Specialize Armadillo.
- These tires are FAST! At an advertised 440 grams, these tires made my bike almost a pound lighter than the 600g Contis I replaced.
- I have 1500 miles on the tires, and the tread still looks brand-new. I have not had a single flat despite riding over a bunch of debris in the city.
- Some other things I like about the tires are their reflective side-walls which provide appreciable lateral visibility at night.
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.
