Just bought a bike which is coming with the above tyres. Anyone using them? Hoping for lots of answers so can look at it statistically. Normally use Marathon Plus but have none spare in the size 700

mrs has 32s on her commuter/winter bike - they have done 2 years @ 20 miles a day and all her winter training. - she had one puncture in that time in the front wheel caused by a nail.

was just looking at them yesterday thinking might be time to change them as they are a bit smooth down the centre now.

Looking good ie not worth buying marathon plus as this is on a spare bike

5 years daily all year round use, 7 miles each day on road and fire road. No punctures here, been through two sets in that time. Keep them pumped up hard or they get draggy. Got Marathon plus for the next set but only because they were on sale.
