I choose flat resistance over either. Schwalbe Marathons or equivalent on all my bikes, but I use my bikes as my primary mode of transportation in the city. I really don’t want to deal with flats when I have to be on time.
Edit: after browsing the site, the Marathons are the lowest rolling resistance touring tires too! Double bonus for an excellent tire, which I can now recommend without reservations.
- bgribble 2y agoMarathons have been my tire for about 15 years of city and road riding, and I have only flatted once -- direct hit on a nail IIRC. I am always amazed at their longevity and reliability.
- fenazego 2y agoI like the Marathons for the same reasons. Only in cold weather it‘s like the rubber of the tyres gets quite a bit stiffer (more so than other tyres), and provides less grip, just when you need it.
