Look at the regular Schwalbe Marathon (NOT Plus). I've been using them for over 15 years in size 47-622mm. Never a blowout, seldom a flat, ride great, last a long time. The extra cost and weight of the "Marathon Plus" model won't add much, if any value to your riding experience over the regular Marathon.
