If this is the Marathon 365 people are talking about, then
1. When I turn sharply it feels awkward. Is this dangerous in anyway? Or will I just get used to it?
Not unusual for a tire with knobby side treads to feel a little squirmy under hard cornering. That is just those treads squirming around.
2. Is there any chance of this tire popping off when I am riding?
Unless there is something wrong with your rims, no. Well, at least not any more chance than any other tire popping off.
