Schwalbe are really good Tires and are very popular in Europe. They have lots of different models and colors.

I was worried about the Bontrager tires that came on my Trek 1200, as I have suffered loads of punctures in the area I live in on my hybrid (until I put Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on - no punctures in 1500km on them!).

On the Bontragers I've kept the pressure up to the recommended 100 psi and have yet to puncture them, and that's what is important to me. As for speed, resistance etc, I'm afraid I'm not that fussy about it so can't advise - puncture resistance for me is key.

Just bought a set yesterday (Bontrager Race Lites), LBS says they're made by Michelin (anyone know for sure?). We'll see how they do, I haven't actually ridden on them yet, but will have by the end of the weekend.
