Patpalloon, the 'Green' refers to the use of recycled latex in production. I - as no doubt with most on here - am keen on lowering emissions so am intrigued to see how they fare. For my up-n-coming tour I've already bought the Marathon 'Plus Tour'. Previously covering 32500 km, using just 3 sets of tyres I only had two (2!) flats!
A full list of the Marathon range is listed here: http://www.schwalbe.co.uk/tour/marathon/
interesting, vinyl thief. I see your marathon plus have the Kevlar guard in them. I wanted to replace my tyres with the same ones, have managed to find some through Spa Cycles - hs368.
