Pros & Cons

Quickly delivered and surprised... Ordered two different Schwalbe tires 50-622, 28x2.00. Of my preference, only 1 was for sale. However, both tires were of the Big Apple type. 1 x Active K-Guard Twin Skin euro 19.95. The other was the Performance Line Raceguard á euro 20.95. The difference was unfortunately not entirely clear to me even on the Schwalbe site.... The surprise was that the most expensive tire did not have the thickest sidewalls, but rather thin ones (raceguard, ..light tire, aha!). Since I am over 6 feet tall and weigh about 125 to 130 pounds, I actually wanted to put the 'best', most expensive tire on my rear rim. But since that tire has thin sidewalls, I mounted the tires the other way around anyway. Lightest tire in front. Thick cheeks in the rear. Both tires were fairly easy to mount on the rim, but with tire levers. Previously I had tires of similar price, the CST Classic Zeppelin. These, in my case, always wore out within about three months. By that I mean the sidewalls. Not so bad, but then cracks appeared on the tread as well. I only rode a few times a month, but the bike was always outside (out of the sun as much as possible because of the tires). Now I should probably start using the bike on weekdays, so I'll see how these two Big Apple tires perform at maximum pressure of 5 bar. They ride just fine.

Bought as a beach tire, but this one rides very smoothly on the street.
