My wife and I used to ride Schwalbe Marathons. Great tires for puncture protection, but at 730 grams my wife said it always felt like riding through mud. Never had a flat, though. We went to Continental Ride Tour tires and they were an improvement - less stiff and less heavy at 650 grams. She loves them. I moved on to Continental Speed Ride tires. They only come in one size - 622x42 at 495 grams. I have 5000 miles on my set and I love them. I will occasionally re-mount the Ride Tours if I want to compare things like tire widths or chain stay lengths. :-) IMHO it is a trade-off between weight and puncture protection, and I’ll take the risk for lighter weight.
