Oldbill44: Used all winter in Northern Idaho, made crossing patches of ice much less hazardous. Could continue my bike routine, with reduce miles, most winter weeks. Not for deep snow. If you are experienced in changing bike tires, installation is rather typical. If not better use a bike shop. Gave me very good service and very little wear. Didn't loose studs after full winter season of about 1000 miles. Will use again next year. Not cheap, but a good value.

Eric Reed: These have never let me down. Good tread, medium soft rubber, always last a long time, even in rocky terrain.

Instarx: I replaced the tires that came on my e-bike with these and am very happy. They ride well and have a solid feel. They are puncture resistant (which is important in heavy e-bikes) and comfortable. They are a bit pricey, but they will probably be the only tires I have to buy for years. The reflective ring on the tires is a nice touch as e-bike riding as a commuter often means riding home in the dark. They clearly identify you as a bicyclist to drivers -- there is no mistaking those two glowing rings!

For those with VanMoof bikes, these fit perfectly on the X3 model.

Dave: My daughter rides almost every day of the winter to school and back. 50km per day. We live in Alberta Canada. We just put them on for the second winter of use and I see no reason why she won't get a second year of use out of them. The top studs do have some wear but not bad at all. She's 140 lbs if your wondering how much weight is wearing on these studs.

R. Montes: El material luce de buena calidad, son resistentes y tienen buen agarre. La protección antiponchaduras agrega varios gramos extra a la bicicleta, lo cual es bastante notorio después de montarlas, sin embargo, a la vez eso me da la tranquilidad de que cumplirán con su propósito: no dejarme tirado a medio camino.

myownsense: I purchased these tires because they were recommended to solve a horrendous problem I was having with flat tires. I had been running Schwalbe One folding tires on my road bike. They were great tires - just not for my riding style and environment. They were fast but they didn't last. I had speed but was experiencing flats due to goat thorns, sharp rocks, glass, etc. on literally every trip. I put these Marathon Plus SmartGuard wire tires on about eight (8) months ago and have not had a single tire issue in over 2,000 miles since. Sure they were not the easiest tires to mount but it was NOT frustratingly difficult to get them on and no special tools were required. I did it entirely with my hands and it took maybe 15-20 minutes per tire to work them onto the rims. While they are not as fast as the Schwalbe Ones, they aren't killing my speed. I'm averaging about 1 MPH difference in average speed over the same distance - but I'm also not wasting 20-30 minutes every ride dealing with flats. I'm actually making better total elapsed time. A definite 5 stars for commuting and durability. I'm projecting 5 stars for longevity because the tires have given me no issues and...

marie: Initial review in June 8th 2020 when new and unused:
Rock solid and rolls well. Go online and use smarts to wrestle it on your rim!!

Update a year later:
The same model tire that I bought back in October 2019 has held up pretty well while running the gauntlet of multiple areas of broken glass (beer bottles etc., not safety glass!!) that I encounter on my daily commute. Finally got my first puncture in this tire last week. A huge, random arrowhead of broken glass made it through to my inner tube. Only a slow puncture though!
The tire seems to have picked up less overall damage than my Specialized 'Black Belt' reinforced tire. It does have some absolutely gnarly slashes though!! You can see all the way through to the blue armor belt on quite a few of these big holes.
In its role as the rear tire, the Schwalbe has been on the receiving end of more abuse: having most of my weight on it during encounters with sharps, and also doing the majority of the braking/skidding.
I would say that this tire is worth the money. It rolls very nicely and has stood up to some horrible urban surfaces quite well.
It would be perfect if the tire's durometer...
