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.
