    I think they are selling off the 2010 tyres as the 2011 tyres have had a revamp, new compound and TR across the board.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"

    I wouldn't be seen dead riding last year's tyres.
  • ORC is Off-Road Compound, it's what's used on some of Schwalbe's Performance Line Tyres.

    Looking at this offer I'd go for one of the Evo Line tyres - these have a better quality carcass with more threads per inch, in theory this should improve the rolling resistance (also links to the angle of the threads on the carcass), they also have a better quality rubber compound.

    Main difference between the 2010 and 2011 ranges is the TL ready feature, the compound thing is as much a re-naming as anything else.

    Schwalbe are stating that they have developed six new compounds for the 2011 tyres and it seems the outer lugs are softer.
