SCHWALBE ULTREMO R.1: 2563 KMS

While you missed Melvin for almost a month, he WAS thinking of you. He even went so far as risking his life (OK let's not get too dramatic: his looks) to give you the exact number of kilometers a 2011 Schwalbe Ultremo R.1 tire will hold up under a 75kg cyclist: 2563! 
This year they run the ZX of course, which sheds 40 grams, is supposedly 15% faster and has better puncture protection. Can't comment on those rubbers as I've opted for Conti 4000s for a change, but quite liked the Ultremo's: they're fast, look great and I never had a flat. Even with the wear (I had two of these) pictured above.
