Marathon + do wear out eventually

[CopperBrompton]

4400 miles on my M pluses in a year.

I get 3000 miles on the trike, but sliding round corners puts a lot of extra wear on them. They appear to last approximately forever on the Brompton.

Mine have been great and only had to be replaced on the rear once in the 8000 miles I did last year.
.
I decided to get a pair for my new commuting bike I bought recently as I was so happy with the puncture free rides.

I had a pair of M+ fitted in May 2009.
The rear was replaced late last year & the front is still going strong.

Only one puncture in all that time.
I'm not a high mileage merchant;apart from an e2e & a few audaxes each year; but IME they do what it says on the tin.
They are a bit of a barsteward to get on the rim though

I had a pair fitted in 2010, still going strong. I know what you mean about having to be Superman to get 'em of the rim!!

They feel dead compared to decent tyres, used to be an M+ user but never again, I've seen the light.

Me too. I used to obsess about punctures, but really how long does it take to fix one? A small price to pay for not feeling like you're cycling through mud.

Just getting the bike in for tomorrow as it's looking like a wet one.
The rear tyre has a massive stone in it. Gone pretty deep but not enough to puncture. The rears are pretty worn though and was just thinking I'll replace it this month.

Not sure whether to get another one or a set of 2 new tyres.

I reckon I have had mine since around October 2009

These are hard to get off for sure.

Took off replaced, Inner tube valve broke, Took back off, new inner tube and back on.
Used the cable tie method to get them on. Far easier getting them on then off imo.
