I am looking for new tires for my bad weather/ trail runner commuter. The commute is a mix of MUP and road. However on the way home I pass by a few singletrack trails and want more traction than smoothies. Also I use this bike when it snows.

Knowing that I have been looking at tires, something with lower rolling resistance then current ( basic FireXC Panaracers) and longer lasting (Harder compound) rubber. However I still want to keep my traction for mud, dirt, etc.

I was looking at

in REI yesterday and they seem pretty good, however I was hoping others might have experiance.

Thanks

I commute on Schwalbe Marathon Plus - they are a good balance between slick and deep tread, they wear very well, and they do not get flats.



The rear tire on the bike which I rode today has close to 6,000 miles on it, and no flats yet....

How are they in snow?

I used to live in Maine, and rode these tires in snow, and they were OK, but I tended not to ride often in deep snow or when there was a lot of ice on the road (Maine is pretty good at clearing the streets, so that was not an issue).

Schwallable tires really seems to be top notch from everything I have seen. I have not ruled these out, it's just that I have never seen them in person
