Title: Anyone tried Schwalbe tyres?
Post by: dp and Chopper Dude on April 27, 2012, 04:22 PM
I've been on the look out for some tyres & I've seen Schwalbe tyres knocking about. They look allright & they are puncture resistant.
Anyone tried them?

i used them in the late 90s a tad heavy but roll very fast when upto good pressure,and yes puncture resistant core.

My son has used the Jumping Jacks on his Haro and I cannot say if they were exceptional but I have not had to fix any punctures on them, I use 24'' Table Tops on my Identity P45 and have been very impressed with them.

I think that they are not a well know brand in the UK but more popular on the continent and I think that they seem to represent good value for money.

I was thinking about trying the Kojak tyres. I fancied some Tioga comp pools but I've bott seen any for sale.
I also like the look of the fat frank's but I don't think they do them in a 20" it's to put on a pair of skyways so I wouldn't want to knacker my wheels if they are a bugger to fit.
