On my MTB I use Schwalbe Marathon Plus during the summer (indestructible, truly), and Schwalbe Snow Studs during the winter (kevlar puncture protection, similar to the Big Apple). Never ever had a flat.

believe it or not, this is a foding bike which can fold in 15 seconds! This bike is made for speed and customisation. The default tires is a Continental Sport contact (85 PSI) but I plan to put some Specilised All Condition Pro tires (120 PSI) under it for even better speed.
here are some specs:

Sebastiaan, that cadenza looks like a winner to me! Too bad the dahon site asks for a username/password to see the picture.
I just realized what I actually need is only the frame! I have plenty of components at home to build up a MTB: wheels, brakes, the whole freaking drivetrain including derailers, levers, shifters... so all I really need is the blasted frame. Anyone know if someone sells just frames for folding bikes? Like, for example, that Cadenza.
