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.
