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.
still got some old ones here somewhere.

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.
