Reviews over the

Schwalbe Durano Plus

tyre excellently meets the Product Characteristics as stated on the site

Pros & Cons

Very puncture-resistant , larger rolling resistance I'll gladly take with it

I use these tyres every day in town I also use these tyres for triathlons

I've been riding this tyre for years. If you don't want to break down and do a lot of kilometres, this is the best tyre. The price/performance ratio is definitely right.

Beset by snow, but not for a moment did I think I had no grip. Tyres bite into the snow just like car winter tyres. This does cause more resistance, but that outweighs the safe case the tyres give. Tyres were difficult to mount, but with mounting help from BBB easy to do.

Pros & Cons

I was warned on the website and through reviews that the tyre is difficult to fit. However, (virtually) puncture-free riding is worth the inconvenience to me.

Pros & Cons

Super tyres Have been using them for yaaaaaaar years

tyres are not fitting while I have a years experience of changing tyres ( including durano +). ; tyre keeper also broke down with this non-fitting / mountable tyre.

Pros & Cons

Sturdy tyres, description is quite correct

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations and free from punctures in the winter cold

For years I have been using this band. Putting this strap on is difficult at first, but after some wriggling, it soon succeeds. The strap I was sent now I couldn't get it on (3 blisters on my hands as a result). It was exactly too small. Had to get another tyre as a result, which is a shame as I have always found this a reliable tyre.

Pros & Cons

Quick service is good

Pros & Cons

Strong tyre, no punctures yet, not even on unpaved or semi-paved roads. It has a reflector strip on it. Not very pretty, but safe of course. The rear tyre lasted 2,500 km and is now at its limit.

Pros & Cons

Top tyre, feels solid. Good grip and steering characteristics.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding Schwalbe tyres for years and have never had a puncture with them

Pros & Cons

Switched to other tires once this was my biggest mistake

Pros & Cons

the sturdy 28mm version of this Schwalbe 'Durano Plus Addix SmartGuard TwinSkin' with reflexion-stoke was unfortunately too high for my Campa Record 'skeleton' rim brake clutches. Unfortunately, I had to swap the 28mm with reflexion for this 25mm version without reflection strip. Advantage is that these 25mm (incl. inner tube) weigh 'only' 487grams each with the same robust properties. The 28mm version is almost 2x heavier than my previous 25mm Conti's (592 vs. 330 grams per tire, incl. tube). See 3 pictures for the weight differences. For this you do get from Schwalbe for a soft price one of the best anti-puncture properties with very good grip. Something that is no luxury in autumn/winter and when riding wet. After all, how irritating is a puncture in the rain? By the way, both the 28 and 25mm versions at 7 bar give excellent feedback during climbs and at 60+ km/h descents during my last AGR150. A lot heavier than most of the competition. As a training tire this extra weight creates more resistance which increases performance! So that few hundred grams extra 'helps' you train this weight or more off yourself! haha ;) In short, a fine tire for training or touring.

Pros & Cons

To not puncture on the not always paved roads in Spain so far has been successful.

Pros & Cons

Bought tires for my work commute. Rolling resistance is fairly low.

Pros & Cons

Hard to find, high-performance

Pros & Cons

Very good outer tire to get miles even during the winter. Disadvantage is that due to its high puncture resistance, the tire is also very stiff and thus difficult to go on the rim. This is especially difficult if you do have a puncture on the road and need to recover in winter weather. Nevertheless, this has become my regular choice for winter and summer riding.

Pros & Cons

I have been using these tires for years as training tires and have never had anything to complain about.

Pros & Cons

On the recommendation of other cyclists bought these tires for the winter months, first ride turned out fine. Puncture resistance yet to be seen.

Pros & Cons

Bought this tire for fall and winter. Unfortunately, the Schwalbe One TLE did not live up to our expectations of puncture resistance. I have now cycled 425 km with this tire in autumn conditions and have not had a flat yet. Fitting was easy, but with the use of tools. At first I found the tire a bit stiff, but after 100km the tire became smoother and more comfortable. I ride with 60 PSI in the front tire and 80 PSI in the rear, this makes the tire comfortable and the tire pressure is not too low due to the risk of snakebite. (Rider is 77kg) The tire then gives a nice cushioning, without the rolling resistance being too high. I like the reflection strip for safety during the darker months. The tire has sufficient grip in cold conditions and on dry and wet roads. With this tire I also took a gravel strip without a puncture. In short, a good choice for autumn and winter. The delivery of Mantel was again top! Ordered on Monday, delivered on Tuesday.

Pros & Cons

In itself a fine tire especially the price for a folding tire, but if you want to get the tire on or off the rim you are in for a while.

Pros & Cons

Rides fine and has a good grip, hope not to get a flat on the way.

Pros & Cons

Difficult to mount on the rim , previous generation was smoother

Pros & Cons

Rolls well and gives great grip in pouring rain, even on cobblestones.

Pros & Cons

I got a set of these tires for the second time after about 7000km. The previous ones were worn out (in the back). I have not had a single puncture in all those miles and with the new set already 2000km puncture free. Today I accidentally rode through wet asphalt with sharp pebbles and even they could withstand that. No more tires for me.

Pros & Cons

Solid tires.

Pros & Cons

Matches expectations/good value for money

Pros & Cons

Fine, everything as per agreement.

Schwalbe Durano Plus has never disappointed me and has done so for 8 years!

Pros & Cons

The tire rolls well on the rim if you take your time. It rolls better than my old Schwalbe one but they were worn out.

Pros & Cons

Solid tire that excels in puncture resistance. Not the easiest tire to put on, but then it has the advantage of being very seldom punctured. Not the lightest tire either, but excellent as a training rubber in winter.

Pros & Cons

Use the 28 mm tires on my winter race bike. Gives more comfort and a safe feeling. A bit heavier and stiffer though.

Pros & Cons

Perfect training tire! Great grip, limited rolling resistance, super decent puncture resistance, easy to mount. Only pity about the reflective strip which was not mentioned in the product description.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Top tire for commuting and training rides in winter. It easily does 7000km on the rear and 10000 on the front. The weight makes it a bit less suitable for really fast rides, or the better climbing work. The 28mm version apparently has reflective tape on the sides, ... Too bad it wasn't mentioned here.

Pros & Cons

Good and especially for fall and winter. High comfirt,good grip and excellent puncture resistance. Goes rather hard on the rim tire lighter needed.

Pros & Cons

wij rijden met onze club al jaren met deze band. Krijgt pas een lek, meestal in de winter, als hij aan vervanging toe is.

Pros & Cons

Five miles without a puncture. Switch from front to rear and off we go for another five miles. It's not very supple, but that's not what you want when you weigh 100kg.

Normally the best anti-puncture tire for the road bike, but it was punctured once. Due to a sharp stone which penetrated the puncture protection layer. But compared to other tires, much stronger, many kilometers, does not wear out quickly, good grip.

Pros & Cons

Although also only recently mounted I have already ridden about 500 kilometers on it. Bought a folding tire for the first time this time. Was always under the impression that folding tires were of lesser quality than wire tires. But this was probably a misconception. Fitting was a bit tricky but with a little love and patience I finally succeeded. Once air was pumped in, a beautiful round tire with a slight tread appeared on the rim. Once on the bike you feel that you are dealing with a smooth tire (28mm by the way) that also feels good when cornering. The tire is a bit on the heavy side, even a few grams heavier than the previous Marathon Comfort tires. (But of course that will also have to do with wear). I rode 6 or 7 thousand kilometers without a puncture with the MC tires. In my opinion, this is one of the most important properties for a tire. Hence my choice for the Durano plus especially since they are mounted on my recumbent (Flevobike) with front wheel drive. On this bike, you have much less overview of potholes and other debris on the road and certainly the front tire must be able to withstand a bump. After about 500 kilometers for now, no complaints.

Pros & Cons

Lots of grip, even in the rain, not cheap but well worth its money!
