These are the Marathon "Racers" according to the label. Perhaps there are better-feeling models?
The only worse rolling road tires I've used came on an ancient Cyclepro mountain bike: 2" slicks with heavy belt; and the previous owner had installed thick "thornproof" tubes and tire liners. Dawgs! Of course, I rode it through 1/4 mile of goatheads, came out with literally scores of thorns in the tread, and lost not a bit of air in the succeeding week. The Racers felt almost as bad! FWIW, I've found Kojaks to be quite goathead resistant. Not proof, by any means, but far more resistant than, say, Paselas (non-Tourguard) while rolling very nicely, especially tubeless.
