Found this guy that has these "Schwalbe Stelvio Evolution" tires for $25 a pair. Anyone ever heard of this brand or used these tires?? The price is right. :) Stelvio Tires (http://corporate.auctionworks.com/store/itemDetail.asp?sid=200311051058160000000008742672&sfid=31856&id=52521047)

I bought a couple of helmets from this guy last year so I know he's legit. Just wondering if these tires would be comparable to the Hutch Carbon Comps that I have now.

WOW! Just found their website and these tires are $97 a pair if ordered from there. PRICEY!! (http://www.schwalbetires.com/racing.php?Nickname=STELVIO%20EVOLUTION%20PACK&Image=TireImages/stelvio_evolution_pack.jpg) :eek:

High quality Dutch company with a good reputation.

Schwalbe is German, not Dutch. The Stelvio's are great! Certainly at this price. Steer away from their lower end tires though, I recently mounted some Blizzard Sport's on my bike and those were aweful.

I do believe they advertise with the Adventure Cycling magazines at least I've seen ads for them in there. Have never seen or ridden on a pair though.

Sheesh! Some people are just not very smart. You can buy these on this guy's website for $24.99 but a lot of his eBay auctions are going for around $35.00 for the same set pair of tires. Attention ebay shoppers.....pull your head out of your butt!!! :p :D
