Been running Schwalbe 100/90/10's Racemans on mine and the missus Lambretta's for a few years now and never had a problem although the rear tyres have been wearing out a bit quicker than the old S1's they replaced, I rate the Schwalbe's and they have been spot on in all conditions, although I do know they don't like diesel very much as i had a get off on a diesel on my way to a rally this year:( I have bought Schwalbe's from two dealers depending on who has them in stock when I need them, I noticed the last couple I bought have been manufactured in Indonesia and not from Korea where the others have come from, maybe those that have failed are from a bad batch from one factory, it happens I remember a batch of S1's falling apart a few years ago and was all over the scooter forums, I think it was when they switched producing them in Italy to somewhere in Asia :| I have also came across bad batches of tyre's in the truck world from some big names :shock: anyway out of interest where have the ones that have failed been manufactured ??
