Schwalbe Durano S Tires - Thoughts?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Schwalbe Durano S Tires - Thoughts?

I have no idea what these tires are all about, anyone have any opinions?

Schwalbe claims good RR and grip, I'm skeptical hippo.

I've had two tires. One of them had a sidewall cut pretty early on in but the other one has been fine and flatless for about 4000+km now. Plenty of life still left I think. Ride quality wise, they're very similar to Ultremo ZXes and those are the best tires I've had so far.

They came stock on my Caad10 and so far no complaints. Think I will go for the ultremo's when its time to get new skins only because I'm considering tubeless? Otherwise I'll run them till their gone.
