My standard Marathons 26 x 1.5" weigh a bunch at around 650 g so unless you need the utmost in puncture protection, I think the Plus's additional tire and rotational weight is not worth it. I know I'm provoking the anger of Flattius (God of Punctures) by writing this, but even with the standard Marathons, I haven't flatted in over 3 years. Oh, now look what I've done
