I had a set of blackwall Swift tires which were nice and supple with a fairly deep tread. Good city tires. I liked them. But one tire developed a separation on the sidewall. Swift shows being out of the blackwalls but since I only needed one tire I sent an e-mail to see if there was maybe "1" left I could buy. No response. Two weeks later I sent another e-mail asking again. Nothing. I sent a 3rd e-mail asking when the blackwalls would be back in stock. Nothing.
So I bought a pair of Kenda K35 tires from Amazon. One was made in Taiwan and the other in Indonesia. Same brand and model but VERY different tires. ( the Indonesia tire is very stiff, has a harder rubber and the raised center on the tread is skinnier ).
Now I have ordered a set of Pasela's. Wish me luck.
BTW - I bought a set of Gravel Kings from Swift earlier this year and the site looks active. ?
