SCHWALBE Ultremo ZX Folding Tire with Vector Guard, 650cm x 23mm, Black Review

I've been running the Continental GP4000S because of their renown durability and low rolling resistance. After reading some well written detailed comparo in a European magazine, I decided to give the Ultremo ZX tires a try. They edged the Conti in speed, but just a bit short in durability.

I can say that I was not disappointed. These tires inspire great confidence in taking sharp corners within a pack @ 26 - 30 mph. They are smooth fast and grip extremely well. I don't ride that bike in the rain, so I cannot comment on wet traction. I was expecting a rather short life, but I have around 3000 miles so far and no flats. The rear looks a little thin, with tons of nicks from glass and other sharp objects, but running Zipp wheels with valve extensions, I've been grateful to not have to mess with that on any ride for the past year. In contrast, I changed from the Continentals because I've had such bad lucks with flats on all my road bikes.

The reason for less than 5 star rating is from the beginning the tires have had threads from the sides peeling off and getting tangled in the brakes. At first I was concerned, but although I can see the missing threads on the sidewall, it doesn't seem to affect the performance. Several shop mechanics I've shown it to, mentioned they've never seen that before. So, despite the great review, I'm a bit leery about getting another set. Another con is because these tires have no treads and wear indicator, the only way to know when it's time to replace is when you start to get too many flats or in my case the sidewalls begin to look very bare.
