Hi John,

It is a (hushed ) Tektro item!

John, are those tires Schwalbe City Jets? How do they compare to say the Pancera Hi Roads or a pair of Schwalbe Marathons?

Yes they are/were. I was very pleased with them as they ran very quick. I changed them over to Schwalbe Marathons before my Camping trip. I have a very bad aversion to punctures and trust the Marathons implicitly! I have the City Jets just lying around for 'spares now'.
I have no reason other than the fact that they were cheap to doubt them.
