I got a 3" tear down to the cloth right at the bead on the rear. I think less than 500 miles on it. Either a defect or a design issue, neither of which I want to mess with. No plugging it, either.
They rolled well, but the grip was not nearly as good as on the smaller maxxis tires I'm on now.
I've never ridden a maxxis tire I didn't just instantly love.
Tires are pretty person and location specific. Based on the pics you post, I think my trails are somewhere between your usual trails and the Sedona stuff. Racing Ralph are not uncommon out here, but mostly on the rear only.

No, I saw how schwalbe handles those types of claims over on mtbr, and decided I didn't want hassle only to be told "lol, no".
I bought them from a shop in Germany because there was no us availability at the time.

Had a nice 75km ride today. Well technically a 39km ride followed by lunch followed by a 36km ride. Lunch was good.

Pre-op comment from an OR nurse:
'Wow it says here you're 60 years old. You don't LOOK like you're 60.'
Last conscious memory, I woke up in recovery later. I'll never know how she meant that now. Oh well.

It must be fun to be in the OR room. You can taunt the patients and they just fall asleep.
