I have just put some Marathon Plus 38s on a bike that I will use for some city streets commuting. Definitely hope they live up to their reputation. Thanks to folks in this thread for providing feedback on their experiences.

I'd like to join the SMP lovefest.
Been using SMP 38s for about 3 years now on the mean streets of San Diego, Cali. Zero flats.
They are a little heavy so a little slowish, but roll just fine.
But if your number 1 priority is reliability (absolutely, positively, yes please) then they are the tire for you.
