Schwalbe clearly states that the Marathon line does not focus on high-speed cornering.
Marathon SUPREME. They're totally different than most of the Marathon line.

diablo,I've never had any traction issues with my Supremes in the rain. That said,I also don't ride at 10/10ths during the rain either. Both traction and visibility are reduced,so it's a good idea to take it easy in bad weather. Note,there is more to deal with than just water in the rain. When it first rains,oil and other vehicle fluids can come up out of the road surface and are very slippery.
