This had been my exact experience with the Marathon Racers that came stock on a Dahon I had a few years ago. I wrote somewhere around here that they felt like pulling an anchor - even at the top recommended pressure - and punctures were unusually frequent, even compared to some unprotected tires that I ran for years. I'd say you're being generous with your 4/10 rating.
