That area of my fork is all scratched up from rocks hitting it. I have actually painted that area with the paint that you use on the bed of a pickup truck and then covered that with helicopter blade tape to protect it. There is a difference in the Schwalbe tires, the newest ones have the letter V on the sidewall. Are the ones that you ordered the new ones or are they left over old stock?

We are using the ZX "V" tires and for us here in Central Illinois they are fantastic! Light, fast, 2 flats in 11,000 miles and excellent wear. YMMV!
