I just bought a used Serotta Custom Ti that has Schwalbe Stelvio clincher tires on it. They appear to be in pretty good shape. No cuts and plenty of tread left.

The guys I ride with all use Continental 4000's, Michelin Pro 3's, or Specialized and Bontrager.

I did a little google search and found some for sale that are fairly expensive.

Anyone have any experience with Schwalbe tires??

I've ridden on several flavors of schwalbe, liked them all.

no worries, ride what you have, make a decision on your next tire when these wear out, no sense throwing out good tires.

I've had mainly good experiences, but with Schwalbe Marathons on a tandem. Bulletproof but heavy

They are comp to Miche and Conti when comparing across similar pricing.

If you don't like them try reducing PSI by 5.

Thanks to everyone for their input.
Looks like I'll keep the tires till they wear out.
