Great, cheaper alternative to Schwalbe Marathon Plus
By SCbikeman
I rarely write reviews, but I had to chime in on this great tire. I am a hardcore bicycle commuter, typically putting about 5000-7000 miles on my bikes a year and less than 1000 miles on my pathetic car. I have tried nearly every bike commuting tire/tube combination on the planet.
I hate flats. Flats usually mean I'm going to be late for work or somewhere else. I DON'T GET FLATS because of the tires I run. The undisputed STANDARD in flat protection/durability is hands-down the Schwalbe Marathon Plus. I know this is not a review of the Schwalbe's, but I've had 6 sets of them on various bikes representing over 15,000 miles and I've never had a single on-the-side of the road flat (I did have one slow leaking tube due to my bad mounting).
Over a year ago, a work collegue of mine gave me a set of these Continental Touring Plus tires in a size 700x28 because he had sold the bike it was going on. He had been using this tire for years and swore by it. I examined the tread, the flat protection layer, and overall look of the tire and it's clear that Continental decided to go after the industry-leading Schwalbes. I installed them on my bike and decided to let time tell determine the rest. I'm happy to report the following:
--not a single flat in over 4000 miles of riding (now three sets of these tires on three bikes)
--they are SO MUCH easier to mount on a rim than the Schwalbes
--they are (on average) about $20 cheaper per tire than the Schwalbe
--they accelerate/roll just as smooth/fast as the Schwalbe
--grip is dead-even with the Schwalbe
--I find them slightly more comfortable (at the same tire pressure) than the Schwalbes
--ONLY DOWNSIDE: they appear to be about 75% as durable/long-lasting as the Schwalbe. I typically get about 2500 miles out of a rear tire Schwalbe, where I have gotten around 2000 miles with these Continentals.
I now have 3 sets of these tires on various bikes. The Schwalbes have served me well, but even with Amazon's great prices, the cost has gotten crazy at nearly $50/tire. These Continentals are usually less than $30/tire.
Bottom line: don't hesitate to buy this tire for leading flat-protection and great durability. I've sure put it through the daily grind and recommend it!!

No Flats in 3,000 miles over broken Glass
By Marrz
I bought these tires in a 700x32 for my touring bicycle that mainly carries me to and from class. These lasted me 12 months, and 3000+ miles without a single flat until today it seems the sidewall broke through. I live in Carbondale, IL and anyone familiar with the town will tell you how these streets are covered each morning with the broken glass from the night before and I NEVER had a flat tire.
I was very pleased with these except I found that the reflective stripe on the sidewall seemed to get rather nasty near the end of their life but I would defiantly recommend them. I ended up going with their City version of the same tire and I hope they hold up as well.

Very strong, but too heavy and feels like you are riding on concrete wheels.
By Jorge L. Troncoso
The tires are extremely strong. The material is very thick and very puncture resistant. But I must admit that I got a flat after only a couple of hundred miles. It really was not the tire's fault. In the middle of a torrential rain, on my morning commute to work, it picked up a long roofing nail that went right through the bottom and came out through the firewall. Nothing could have resisted that. Still, if puncture resistance was my number one priority, and I cared about nothing else (I thought so when I bought them) these are the tires to have.
But I have a couple of issues with these tires. Number one, they are very heavy for their size. Sure, that puncture resistance comes at a price, but the weight makes a big difference in terms of speed and acceleration. More importantly, the second issue is that they are very rigid and the ride can be jarring. I feel every crack on the pavement like a hammer on the palm of my hands. Not even my road racing bike with its skinny tires feels this harsh. My Surly Long Haul Trucker feels like it is riding on tires made of concrete.
In the end, although puncture resistance is important to me, I also care a little bit about comfort too. If puncture resistance is the only thing that matters to you, and nothing else does, this is the tire for you. But be aware that it comes at a cost in terms of a uncomfortable and jarring ride and a big sacrifice in speed.
