Does the job nicelyI have been using Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres on my hybrid for many years on a 10-mile daily commute on road cycle and park paths. Puncture resistance is the big positive and the main reason I use these. I haven't really tried other tyres so don't know how they compare. The disadvantage is that they are almost 1kg in weight and can be very difficult to take off although some of my cycling friends don't have any problems with removing them.

Best on the marketLiving in Canada has its benefits but also big disadvantages.
The roads are so bad that it would be an improvement to replace the entire network with gravel.
About 90% of city roads in Montreal are filled with potholes and decently sized cracks every few foot. So as you would've guessed, local bike shops are making bank replacing everyone's flat tires.
I love cycling but having a flat every week isn't something that compels me to continue riding so I jumped on the Marathon Plus 28 after reading reviews on the internet.
So far I rode them for 500 km and they still look brand new. I tested them off-road in segments made of big sharp rocks. Rode them under the rain for 2 hours straight as well as dirt and they held well on sharp turns. Cobblestone roads were also tested. Along the way I've hit countless sizable road debris (branches, glass, rocks) and potholes.
I even had to inflate the tires 4 times during a 100 km ride due to the PSI loss from bad road conditions. Yet haven't had any puncture or blow-out.
All in all, these are simply the best tires if you want to ride carefree on bad city roads. At 750g each for the 28 model they are a bit heavy compared to average slim tires (200g), but the puncture resistance is a good trade-off for me. -
Great product at a fantastic price!Delivered quickly and for super price. Don't think you'll find anywhere else on the internet cheaper. Good quality product that looks durable and should work well on my commute.

- Can I fit these to a Btwin 3 road bike from Decathalon? I'm going to take the bike to the U.S. And leave it there for when I visit. The roads are a bit mixed and I would intend to do some general touring rather than worrying about sprinting so I want to feel like I'm not going to slide about.

Thanks for getting in touch
You will need to check the wheel size (which will be on the side of your current tyre) and also the clearance on the frame as you may be limited to what width of tyre can be used. If you select a tyre that is too wide it will rub the frame or the wheels will not spin at all.
