Now my Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres are reaching the end of their life (one is showing the canvas, one is very low tread and the one from the rear wheel is OK but presumably not going to last forever now it's on the offside front where the bald one was) I am trying to decide what tyres to buy to replace the two front tyres. I already have a Big Apple I've stuck on the back wheel and that's working really well.
I assumed for the front wheels that I'd go for a Marathon Racer Plus (less likely to get punctures) but am now wondering whether it might be a better idea to go for the Big Apple. The more comfy ride would be good, maximum speed isn't vitally important but I would like the tyres to last more than 1200 miles. Does anyone have any experience of Big Apples on all three trike wheels? Do you see any disadvantages? The Big Apples are a fair bit cheaper than the Marathon Plus tyres - that's not particularly an issue for me but I wonder if it means they will be less long lasting or something.
