If the inner width of the Weinmann Zac 19 is 19 mm you might have problems with the Schwalbe Stelvio
25-559. The Schwalbe Stelvio 28-406 should not be a problem with these rims. But then having read
about compatability on Sheldon's page you already know that. If you are concerned about sidewall
wear and tear on Primos and Stelvios, almost any other Schwalbe recumbent tire in the compatible
width should be OK. With wide rims, other fast tires like Conti GPs may also be out of the picture.
Another tire that I have had good results with and also has proven to be good in the performance
category is the Vredestein S-Licks. Available in 33-406 and 33-559 sizes, these might be your best
choice for a fast tire on a wide rim. Are you looking for a fast tire? Are you looking for a durable
tire? For durability, I would recommend the Conti TT 2000. These are 'bullet proof' but are a bit of
a dog when trying to chase down roadies.
