I'm happy with my Schwalbe Racers but can only compare them to the old, worn-out Kendas that came with the bike.
I like supple tires with pliable sidewalls, but I bike commuted for 28 years so I needed better flat protection. On my 700c and 26" bikes I went with ight, supple tires and tire liners; Mr. Tuffys and the Slime-brand ones (not the gooey Slime itself).
So my custom-geared Dahon Boardwalk now has 20-inch Schwalbe Racers with tire liners. While the sidewalls aren't as supple as I'd like, the bike is as fast as my 2015 Charge Plug 700c (and weighs the same).
I may go for even lighter tires when the racers wear out.
