Schwalbe

I got the 2" variant with "bronze" sidewall and it is as advertised. Mounted to an Enve G27 it's exactly 2" wide. Bronze sidewall is darker than typical "tan" sidewalls which was expected per the photo.

What I do love is that this is slightly lighter than my old WTB Byways and rolls much faster (FYI apparently Byways are some of the slowest tires and IMO the quality has changed so I'd steer clear of).

First impression is "love 'em" so we'll see how they hold up!

I wanted some street tires for my mountain bike so as to save wear & tear on my knobby tires, as well as for a smoother ride while riding streets. The Schwalbe AL Grounders work great for me. The low profile tread and width (2.35") make for a good, stable ride for paved street, patchwork pavement, dirt and gravel. Very good all around tire. I did not do a lot of shopping around, mostly looking for relatively low, reasonable shipping pricing to Hawai'i, which Bike Tires Direct provides. But I believe their price on the tires are less expensive/average.

I recently purchased three new Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires for my wife's trike. We moved from the 20 x 1.5's to the 20 x 1.75's and we're glad we did. My wife said the ride is so much smoother and surprisingly they didn't slow her down at all. They look significantly bigger on the rim and fit perfectly. This is my second purchase from Biketiresdirect.com and we couldn't be happier. Great prices, great communication and quick shipping on both of our orders. A+
