Winter roads and trails need the right tires, especially when ice and snow seems to cover everything in sight. Schwalbe has been in the studded tire game for years, and they have a proven tire for challenging (and downright dangerous!) riding conditions: The Marathon Winter Plus! Like a snow tire for automobiles, the Marathon Winter Plus features a softer durometer rubber for the tread, offering improved grip on cold pavement compared to garden-variety summer mountain bike tires. The tread pattern is designed for improved grip on slushy, frozen roads while still keeping rolling resistance relatively low. Shallow siping channels across the tread blocks improve grip on sand and road grit. The studs aren't aluminum, but are carbide alloy like a drill bit, ensuring long lifespan. Three layers of 67tpi nylon make up the Schwalbe Smartguard casing, giving the Winter Marathons excellent puncture resistance. A reflective sidewall adds to a cyclist's visibility in poor light conditions. - Spikes work best on ice at the minimum pressure

Schwalbe's Marathon Plus is legendary for durability and protection. Their nearly impenetrable 5mm-thick SmartGuard layer almost eliminates flats over the course of the tire's excellent, long life. Whether you're setting out on a cross-country bike tour, cruising on a tandem, or just want peace of mind during your daily commute, the Marathon Supreme is in it for the long haul.
