$44 each at Merlin.
Running 35's now. Will be interesting to see what the extra weight does for riding on pavement vs the extra width when riding on gnarly offroad.
Yeah, I just bought a set of them for 50% off at Jensen. They come in tomorrow. Found them a little cheaper ($25), but it was a cheaper version of the tire.
The version I got is Schwalbe's fastest tire - the 60mm version. Gotta go wide to get the lowest rolling resistance!
they are going on the GF's bike. She never rides mountain bike trails, so the knobby tires are a boat anchor for her. The stock tires probably have 80-100 watts of rolling resistance. A pair of these Schwalbe's have less than 20 watts of rolling resistance. That is just crazy that a 60mm tire has less resistance than their high end race tires!!!
