Pay peanuts, get monkeys
So I thought I’d save a couple of euros by buying this one instead of the Schwalbe: I soon found out better. After 30 km, it split at the valve – just as several reviews had mentioned (which I hadn’t read, because surely Mantel wouldn’t risk its reputation by ripping off customers with substandard products?) I hope the sales manager is happy with his bonus.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
You get what you pay for
Fitted twice with a 2.35-inch Schwalbe tyre; both times it went flat the first time I pumped it up. In both cases, the puncture occurred at the edge of the valve base. I also found the tyre to be quite narrow when pumping it up before fitting.
Pros & Cons

I will go for a slightly higher quality inner tube from now on
First tyre (front tyre) gave way after only 130km, second tube (rear tyre) gave way after 300km. Both without any perforation.
Pros & Cons

Bad batch was probably
Of the 5 tyres, 3 burst when inflating (in different wheels), 1 is in use and remains whole, and 1 is still in the box (Don't trust these tyres anymore)
