Tough tyres! The cycle route to my workplace is 'helpfully' lined with hawthorn bushes. This resulted in regular punctures and roadside repairs...not good on a cold and wet morning ride to work. However, these Schwalbe tyres seem to be tough enough to (fingers crossed as I type this) withstand b*stard hawthorn thorns and other roadside crap/pieces of metal/glass etc. The armoured inner rubber layer inside the tyres looks pretty substantial, but they are not too heavy (I am riding a hybrid/commuter style bike, not a racing type with skinny tyres) and seem to roll along nicely on tarmac/concrete without too much resistance. I have coupled them with some gunk filled inner tubes as double defence, but as I say, fingers crossed, all good so far, and recommended to anyone riding on variable terrain/gravel/glass-strewn roads in North London!Read full review

The tyres are of excellent qualitu and promise to be puncture proof. They were very slippy in my hands when putting them onto the wheels and this caused them to slip from the beading and out of my hands.

Good long lasting tyre I've ever used and the best puncher resistant tyres I've used in over 50 year's of cycling. Whilst a puncher can never be ruled out it's certainly less likely.

So far so good - have managed to get past the Putney Puncture black spot unscathed a couple of times now. They added little weight, and seemingly no rolling resistance. If they reduce the rate of punctures then they'll pay themselves pretty quickly...

The best tyres ever. I had them before for several years. I have cycled around Poland three times. During first two journeys i used the same set. They last forever.
