Can someone help Im getting a new trek road bike with 700c/32c tyre should I swap them for 700c/ 25c for a better road biking experience
why are number of people on this board obsessed with Marathon and Marathon plus tyres, that they get suggested to fix every bike ailment. they have their place on a commuter bike or similar, they have excellent puncture protection, but they are numb and comparatively weigh a lot,No. As @mjr says 32's will be comfier and will run smoother on typical crap UK road surfaces.
You'd do well if considering upgrading to swap the tyres to something like a Schwalbe Marathon Supreme.
I do agree, but would point out that marathon to M+ is like an escort van to a 7.5T HGV!why are number of people on this board obsessed with Marathon and Marathon plus tyres, that they get suggested to fix every bike ailment. they have their place on a commuter bike or similar, they have excellent puncture protection, but they are numb and comparatively weigh a lot,

M+ weren’t mentioned, the supremes were (which presumably are different in someway to the plus)check post #3 ming
Tyre makers are often terrible for name-confusion marketing. Schwalbe's Marathons are maybe the worst, but Vittoria are another one that label chalk and cheese with the same basic name and suffixes like "Slick", "Pro", "Pro G", "Pro 3G" ...M+ weren’t mentioned, the supremes were (which presumably are different in someway to the plus)
M+ are not very different - just 1 more.M+ weren’t mentioned, the supremes were (which presumably are different in someway to the plus)
