Schwalb Ultremo. I have been thinking about trying these and was wondering if anyone out there has used them and what their views are. I know they had a problem with sidewall blowouts but I believe that it should not be a problem with the ones on sale now. Anybody got any thoughts.

    Light and sticky, but mine cut up quite badly on our west country lanes, so i save them for France where they know how to lay decent tarmac.

    I haven't tried the new versions yet (they're waiting for the summer), but the old versions rolled extremely well, felt faster and more grippy than the pro 3s I've got. They did cut up a bit, but that might have been bad luck as a couple of cuts appeared early on, then the tyre didn't get any worse for a while.
