They're not expensive ~$35 a tire, and last around 5-8k miles, can't argue with all that.
+1 On my Fuji Touring I am forced to ride through areas that people seem to intentionly cover the road with shattered glass (I live near texas motor speedway hm) and there is tons of random metal and wood on the sides of roads probably from all the development going on.
I find myself having to be really careful when I'm with my wife. She has a road bike with armadillos but they just can't take the crap my marathon plus tires does with 300+lbs of bike+rider pounding on em. I have mr tuffy liners in there just in case but nothing has ever gotten to em
