I'm looking at getting some Schwalbe Marathon Pluses for my MTB seeing as I use it in town 99% of the time. Would be much obliged if you would humour my questions:
are they likely to feel lighter or heavier rolling than my current no-name knobblies? (1.95" rear, 2.1" front)
Can I put 1.35" tyres on 1" wide rims (safely) or do I have to go with 1.75"? They don't seem to come in 1.5"
are they really that bad grip-wise in the wet?
my current inner tubes say 1.5-2.5" on them, but the standard Conti 26" inners are 1.75-2.5. Can these be used in 1.35" tyres or does it lead to pinches?
