20 miles from home, appeared to be holding pressure. Decided to leave it in and hope it held. Once home, pulled nail and it hadn't punctured tube. Woohoo! Rarely get a puncture, but last two have been riding through intersections, where debris is at maximum and eyes are scanning for cars rather than puncture hazards. Love them Marathon Pluses!

Heavy as hell, huge rolling resistance, but surviving almost everything. Used it for years
Thank your tube too. Is it a Schwalbe Air Plus?
I rode my gatorskins right over a pile of broken glass that I somehow missed. Not even a scratch!
Can’t believe you left it in. Lol
I just don’t do flats anymore after using these tires. Peoples’ comments had me worrying about weight, but I have my bikes loaded down with stuff all the time anyway. I don’t notice a thing.
Many thousands of miles and the only flat was due to a cheap stem. Schwalbes are the true unsung heroes
