So my tyres have given up after ~10,000 miles! That’s a tad over their expected ~5000 miles estimate. But take a look, I have ridden them to the limit!
The Schwalbe Road Cruiser Plus lists as “a highly durable, eco-friendly commuter and hybrid tyre”
- Green Compound, uses renewable and recycled raw materials without compromising on quality
- Puncture Protection: Features a 3 mm thick TwinSkin: An additional rubber coating on the sidewalls to protect against unsightly cuts.
- They are lighter, and cheaper, than the top of the range Marathon Plus.
These tyres have lasted me 3.3years – that’s almost 10,000 miles.
New shoes…
I ride 75 miles a week. 41 weeks/year, that’s ~3000miles/year. My cycle.
It’s worth mentioning that for the last few years, I have used Tannus Armour inside my tyres. They have served me very well. Only one puncture in 2 years, from an award-winning shard of glass. The Armour will be refitted inside my new tyres.

So new shoes for the bike. Onwards!
