I bought them direct from the Schwalbe USA website.

We still haven't had enough rain here for me to be able to eval their rain performance, but I have been experimenting with pressure. They are rated for 55-95PSI. I initially inflated both to 95PSI and rode it that way for a couple days. Then I lowered the rear to 80 and the front to 70PSI. Nice improvement in cushioning, and although there is somewhat more rolling resistance it isn't bad. They feel really good at those pressures... having the front at 70 especially reduces that vibration feeling in the bars. So far, I like the tires a lot.
