I've only heard good things about the tubes. I hear they hold air seemingly longer than other brands. And the original quality appears tidier.
I hope you are right because I really want to love Schwalble.
The tires are G-One Allaround but others have reported problems with other models. I'm not soured on the brand yet.
Look into the Continental tubes. The Race and Race Light series are really high quality with the Race Light being somewhere between a regular butyl tube in terms of durability and a latex tube in terms of weight and feel. Conti Race Light go into my road bike with Vittoria G+ Speed tires and the combo rolls amazing.
