Purchased these road tires to replace my Bontrager R3s. I bought these tires with a matching set of tubes. Reading reviews and talking to other fellow cyclist inspired me to give them a try.
I have roughly 550 Mi on them and they absolutely show no sign of wear other than road dirt. The matching tubes are definitely not race tubes they are fairly heavy duty which is what I prefer because I ride on the road a lot and don't need to be fixing Flats.
I will say that the tires and the tubes combined offer some pretty serious protection. I'm 173 lb Rider and these tires just hum across the asphalt. I should get 3500k out of the rear tire.
Hope this helps.
Great
I've been riding on Schwalbe One (HS462) for years now and have found them to be a great tire for rolling resistance and being an excellent tire preventing flats. I've tried many other brands on my Seven Elium SLX road bike and have found that none last as long, easy of putting them onto the wheel and protection against flats. I highly recommend these tires.
I purchased two of these tires in a 28mm width primarily for road use. The good: Easy to install, good grip, holds the road nicely when cornering, good speed, and after about 500 miles the tire seems pretty durable (no punctures). The bad: Based on my purchase QC seems to be an issue. One of the two tires is not round. It feels like there is a hop in the tire on my rear wheel, very similar to how a plug would feel in a tubeless tire after you just fixed a puncture. It's not a horrible hop, the tire is still quite ridable. On less than perfect roads the hop is much less noticable and sometimes disappears altogether. However, I would not purchase these tires again.
lThis is a great tire that is durable and handles the road seamlessly. I ride 500 to 700 miles a month and need a tire that resists punctures and long lasting. The Schwalbe fits the bill. I really don't have anything negative to say about it. Another positive point is I pass a lot of people fixing flats on the path.
Easy to install, great grip, fast/ safe on corners. Great looking with black/tan color. I will buy another set while in stock. This tire is a keeper.
Bought these for my touring recumbent bicycle. very fast and very puncture resistant. Very afordable
