I submitted a warranty ticket at schwalbe.com. If they decline then I'll keep my comments to myself and they won't get anymore money. I may attempt to true it out using sandpaper.

I like big tires and small tires. I have Bontrager Hanks 2.2 slicks on my heavy electric bike. Very true tires. And I have 700x23 continental ultra race on my road bike. Straight as an arrow. The big apples don't seem to be that fast. Coasting downhill seems slow. But its a mountain bike and I plan on using it for climbing. The speeds going uphill are the same as the road bike so not much difference there. I still would like to see a picture of the Nashbar $10 slicks. A close-up of the sidewall and label. All they show is the slick part. Doesn't tell you much. They claim around 66 tpi which is equal to the specialized fatboy and schwalbe kojak slick, and big apple. Michelin wildrun has 33tpi, ritchey tom slick has 27tpi, and there is a bontrager which doesn't show the tpi spec.
