No idea these even came in 451... mine are 406. I think small wheels need bigger tires, so I don't see much use for 451.

Hence I was excited by the 451 Powerblocks as these seemed a beefier tyre for 451. With the right v-brakes I figure these might just be doable with a Swift. Have you any experience with these yourself?
