Now installation requires a little experience but once mastered is not that hard. The secret is lube and SQUEEZE. Just a few drops of dish soap in a glass of water, brushed liberally on the tire bead with a brush. Getting the first bead of the tire on the rim just requires a little pushing with your thumb AFTER LUBING. Then install the tube, inserting the valve thru the rim hole and stuffing the tube into the open side of the tire. Then, after lubing the bead again, insert the tire into the other side of the rim, starting with the valve and working around the rim on both sides. No tire irons are required but can be used. You will be able to get all but about the last 12", opposite the valve in pretty easily. Then it gets difficult. Now listen up... SQUEEZE the sides of the tire along the entire seated portion to move the beads into the center of the rim, not on the bead area. Then pushing/rolling with your thumbs get more of the bead into the rim. Then repeat, SQUEEZE and push. A little more will go in. Now for the final 6", SQUEEZE again to ensure that all the bead in in the center of the rim, lube the final area gain , and grasping the tire with your hands, roll the rest into place. Don't just use your thumbs, grasp the tire and roll it over the rim away from you. You are actually twisting the tire over the last portion of the rim. That is it. Takes a little practice, but if you do not do the SQUEEZE part it is almost impossible. With it, it's pretty easy. You see, the center part of the rim is smaller in diameter than the bed grooves, get the bead into that and it will go on. If you don't, it won't. Great tire, very quiet and smooth, low rolling resistance and pretty comfortable at 60-65 psi. Review: Nice Tires - They look to be great tires. They were hard to get onto the rims. Make sure your tube is not to large for the tire size you are using. ## Features - Smart Guard - Reflective sidewall - Endurance compound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G8QDMSW | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,458 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #91 in Bike Tires | | Bike Type | Mountain Bike | | Brand | SCHWALBE | | Brand Name | SCHWALBE | | Color | Black/Reflective | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 809 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04026495720229 | | Included Components | x1 Tyre | | Item Diameter | 20 inches | | Item Type Name | Bicycle puncture prevention item | | Item Weight | 0.73 g | | Item Width | 1.75 inches | | Manufacturer | SCHWALBE | | Manufacturer Part Number | 11100758 | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Number | 1402070701 | | Number of Items | 49 | | Size | 20 x 1.75 inch | | Tire Type | Clincher | | Tread Type | Semi-Slick | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | PRODUCER | | Warranty Type | Lifetime | | Wheel Size | 20 inches | ## Product Details - **Bike Type:** Mountain Bike - **Brand:** SCHWALBE - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04026495720229 - **Item Diameter:** 20 Inches - **Item Width:** 1.75 Inches - **Material:** Rubber - **Size:** 20 x 1.75 inch - **Tire Type:** Clincher - **Warranty Type:** Lifetime - **Wheel Size:** 20 Inches ## Images ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819PcyVKsXL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CvP0uc4jL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dHeOxCzXL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GRtgSYNWL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AgsWurJSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Shape, Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this model HS 440?** A: Hi, I use the 20 x 1.35 size tire. Each size has it's own model number (numerical). I don't recognize "hs 440". I would go to http://www.schwalbetires.com/ to find your answers. SCHWALBE Marathon Plus Smart Guard RLX Wire Tire, is the grouping of this style tire. good luck. **Q: Is 700 x 35C same as 700 x 35cm?** A: I think Amazon has it labeled wrong. There’s no 35cm size. It’s a 700x35C. **Q: What is the thread count?** A: I'm not sure what you mean by "thread count", but, the wire bead that holds the tire to the rim, is stranded steel wire. I do not know the number of strands in wire. **Q: is this tire the sams as the "Marathon Plus HS 440" ?** A: Yes! Same tire and well worth the extra price ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really quiet and comfortable tire *by G***N on July 3, 2024* I installed three of these 20X1.75'" tires on a Catrike Villager recumbent e-trike.

They were hard to get onto the rims. Make sure your tube is not to large for the tire size you are using. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cadillac (or Mercedes-Maybach) of commuter tires *by P***S on June 25, 2020* I got these to replace some old slicks. I'm a Clydesdale+ commuter on a 2001 Cannondale F500 who rides 75-100 miles a week. I don't want any other tire under me from now on. Pros: * Smooth riding. It was like getting a new bike when I first put these on. Smooth and comfy ride. * Good grip on pavement. After 3 years and thousands of miles in California conditions, I've never had an issue with traction, wet or dry. * Bulletproof. On my old tires I was getting one or two punctures a week, even with inserts. I haven't had a flat yet in those 3 years and thousands of miles (knock wood, cross fingers). * Super visible. I ride in the dark almost exclusively. The reflective strip was a new thing for me. I won't ride on the road without them any more. * Long lasting. I'm a super Clydesdale. These tires are wearing really well. Later this year I expect to swap front and back tires to get many more miles. Cons: * Very tight fitting. The beads are very stiff and very tight on the wheel. When I first installed them, I thought I'd snap my plastic tire levers. Makes me worry about a roadside flat. Bike mechanic friend tells me that they stretch the beads a little before they install them. Hasn't been an real issue yet. * Sipes pick up gravel every once in a while. Not a big deal, but for a rider used to slicks and lots of flats, the sound freaked me out for a while. * Absolutely no grip on dirt or leaf litter. To be expected, but I had a few shocks before I learned my lesson. ## Frequently Bought Together - SCHWALBE Marathon Plus HS Wire Tire - SCHWALBE, Marathon Plus, Tire, 26''x1.75, Wire, Clincher, Endurance, SmartGuard, Reflex, 67TPI, Black - Slime Bike Inner Tube with Slime Puncture Sealant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/7378348-schwalbe-marathon-plus-bicycle-tire-16-20-24-26-27](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/7378348-schwalbe-marathon-plus-bicycle-tire-16-20-24-26-27) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
