Actually nevermind - I looked up when I bought them and it's outside of their warranty period. I got the tires in 2015 - I didn't realize I'd had them that long.

Thanks for the info though.

Hmmm... ok, so probably out of warranty. I found this on the web.

Their production code is inside the tire. It is 4 digit I believe mo/yr.

From Schwalbe warranty pages,

"Required: The production code is stamped in white ink on the inside of the tire comprised of 5 numbers, one letter then 2 numbers. (Sample: 23107X12) This is NOT the barcode number."

2015 puts it at 6 years old. Not surprising that it might be out of warranty. But, I don't believe that a tire should automatically self destruct due to being 6 years old.
