The price is the only thing holding me back.
Tannus claim it can last up to 6,000 miles before replacing, so a couple years out of it, not too dissimilar to a Marathon Plus lifespan I reckon.
Having said that, it sound like a great choice on a Brompton that already got a suspension block to take less road abuse.

I get around 2 years out of the front and a little less on the rear with the Marathon Plus. I weigh more and I do skid a little from time to time.
For that price I would want at least 4 years out of them. Its too soon for any lifetime data, they have only been going a couple of years, and I believe the 18" tyre only launched last year.

I was hoping that someone had already bitten the bullet as well. Having said that at SpinLdn I spoke to people from Tannus. The word I got from them is that the Brompton CEO himself is rocking them. Brompton is apparently using the Tannus tyres on their rental bikes so to reduce maintenance issues with the bikes. The price is the only thing holding me back, I think I have a couple more months on my current tyres - so I have some time to decide.
