I love Swalbe Tyres-- full stop.I have travelled all over the country on These tyres and not one puncture,also they are very comfortable over the bad roads we have.Fantastic mileage on all types of surfaces.I did lands end John o' groats over glass and other stuff such as tacks which bike haters throw down on known routes north and no punctures.You can't kill a Swalbe tyre.The marathon plus I use on both my tour bikes and My Cube e bike came fitted with the Swalbe Balloon tyre which is as good but awesome on e bike due to its volume.Trust them with your life,you will get to where you are going safe and sound.Great looking tyres as well.Little heavy but bombproof and well made.Old addige-- you pay slightly more but longevity and quality is assured.Mr D.Hall.

Just bought a folding e bike with big apple tyres. Had two puncture in the first month so bought a big ben tyre instead. Initial impression is that's it's much tougher and similar to a marathon plus in terms of puncture resistance. 🤞

Great tyres. You can feel the extra protection layer under the tread. Tough to manipulate onto the rims but worth it for the quality. Reflective band very useful extra safety feature.
Tires arrived a day later than estimated (no big deal), are as advertised, and installed fairly easily by hand (no tire irons required). They ride nicely, fairly quiet, and pressure range (soft-to-hard) is good for dialing in the ride you want. A little expensive for bike tires, but expect them to last a long time and be trouble-free.
Scooteretti did a great job in specifying more aggressive tires for my wife's Cube Hybrid Touring bike. This gave her more confidence off pavement.Also did a great job of showing my daughter how to fold them into her suitcase for the trip to BC. Thanks again.
First problem is the tire gets bigger as you put in more pressure suggesting the casing is weak and stretchy.2 flats yesterday due to the tube getting cut at the line where the bead meet the rim. Not a pinch flat, or snake bite or puncture. I think the bead is moving around and pinching the tube.Nice looking and nice ride while it works. Stable on light gravel too.
My local bicycle shop guy who's been in business for 20 yaers said they are quality tires. I"m senior citizen and coverting my MTN bike to street tires. Have one on front already: with 60 lbs of air rolls like butter. Made with K Guard extra flat protection. States on sidewall. Tire pressure 35 to 70lbs ; You can choose what comfort you like.
just bought 4 of these Schwalbe Big Ben tyre , for our Tern vektron s10 bikes , been using Schwalbe for the last 5 years , very reliable tyre , great resistance to puncture too . Shopped around before purchase , and Bike Inn were the best price , and the purchase was seamless, strongly recommend.
These replace my current Schwalbe Tyre Big Ben Plus Performance Green Guard SnakeSkin HS439 tyres which have never had a puncture. Good grip on wet roads. Highly recommended and well suited to urban cycling.
