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: Strong and solid tire that fits my foldable bike. - This has been a great tire for my foldable bike. It is a strong and solid tire but it does weigh more than other similar tires that fit my foldable bike tires. I would buy this tire again and I have bought it a couple of times already. ## Features - Smart Guard - Reflective sidewall - Endurance compound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G8QDMSW | | Best Sellers Rank | #155,160 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #937 in Bike Tires | | Bike Type | Mountain Bike | | Brand Name | SCHWALBE | | Color | Black/Reflective | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (469) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04026495720229 | | Included Components | x1 Tyre | | Item Diameter | 20 Inches | | Item Type Name | Bicycle puncture prevention item | | Item Weight | 0.73 Grams | | 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 | 1.0 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) ## 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.

It is a strong and solid tire but it does weigh more than other similar tires that fit my foldable bike tires. I would buy this tire again and I have bought it a couple of times already. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tires *by M***T on January 23, 2024* I bought these to replace the ones on my wife's trike. The old ones have lasted almost 5,000 miles and never any flats. There is still a lot of tread left. She rides on paved surfaces almost all of the time so I can not comment on how they would do on the dirt. I will continue to buy Schwalbe tires since I can not imagine a better product from another brand. ## 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.vu/products/7378348-schwalbe-marathon-plus-bicycle-tire-16-20-24-26-27](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7378348-schwalbe-marathon-plus-bicycle-tire-16-20-24-26-27) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
