Schwalbe Big Ben

I bought a pair of these in January to replace the knobbly MTB tyres on my Cube Electric Cycle. First of all yes they are a little heavier than a standard tyre, however the pay off is the best puncture resistance i have ever had. Much better than armadillos for example which i used to on another cycle and also gatorskins which i had on a road bike for a year or so.I travel around 60-70 miles a week on roads only, never off road. The road conditions vary from uneven gravel paths to busy tarmac main roads with plenty of potholes and debris, everything from glass to bits of cars etc. Im not especially careful and i often set off before sunrise so visibility is low meaning i probably cycle through a lot of stuff i wouldnt in broad daylight. In the four months since i bought these ive not had a single puncture.I now dont even bother to take a spare tube, levers and pump out with me, which i know is now tempting fate but i really am that confident in the the tires ability to hold up. I used to lug a couple of kilos extra gear - tool, levers, two tubes, co2 inflation pump and bottles etc - in the bottom of the my rucksack but now dont.As said i run a cube electric bike, which is heavy, as am i. In total with work gear, bike weight, body weight etc im usually running these with around 110kg of load. Its just no problem for these tires. The rolling resistance is far superior to the knobbly MTBs which came with the bike, theres also a reflective sidewall which is a bonus. Honestly ill probably never buy another brand of tires after picking these up, they are bulletproof! (famous last words as they say!)

To replace my original Ebike tyres, they are the same make and size but have level 5 puncture protection. Original tyres had done about 5k miles, but I was getting punctures regularly from small sharp flint stones that seem to abound in my area, sometimes even too much for slime to cope with. These new tyres have a higher level of protection, and after a month so far so good.The packaging was ridiculous, I ordered 2 tyres, they arrived separately on following days, each in huge cardboard boxes which I've only now managed to dispose of, come on Amazon! Please think about it.

Excellent tyre only 4 stars due to the packaging the tyre was twisted to fit the box deforming the metal rim.

These tires are soo smooth for rolling and amazing in the dirt

Dissatisfied thin walls tight fitting and customer service not good weren’t interested in my concerns to get the tyre on and ripping the tyre wouldn’t pay for return postage

Good tools. Thx.
