is it the wire bead yall are worried about? aye kinnit see whats wrong with the tire...old eyes i spose. i like michelin 16's. the maxxis minion front 3c's( on front and rear) are a preferred tire for me as a rider, but i like mich too. they make good motorbike rubber too. ive never ridden schwalbe tires so i gots no opinion on em.
