I have over 2600 miles on stock tires that came with my D7 and need suggestion as to brand (and on line store) I need to replace the old tires. LBS doesn't carry Schwalbe and Continental's. I appreciate any input you can share.

Why not order the Schwalbe online?

My favorite tires.

Schwalbe Marathon 20x1.5
Schwalbe Marathon Racer 20x1.5
Primo Comet Kevlar 20x1.5
Schwalbe Big Apple 16 x 2.0
I always have to order online.

You might consider:

Schwalbe
Continental
Michelin
Kenda

Some roll better, some are tougher

For help with internet searching, Primo is often spelt 'Pr1mo'

I love my odyessy frequency G 20 x 1.75's. At 15 bucks each and 100psi they're great!

Comparison with other tires you have tried?

My 68 schwinn has the original Superior front tire and the original 16x 2.125 gripper slik. I've had to boot the back tire though. My '67 Legnano has the original Pirelli's. I bought the Odyessys for my R20. I can't really compare them fairly. They seem to stick to pavement and hard packed dirt fine, they roll really fast compared to my other bikes. Several BMX sites rated them well. They are also available in skinwall for you rich folks.......
