Yeah, Schwalbe had a lot of problems back then, not only the crappy OEM tyres, but also in their better version the side knobs used to come off if you looked at them too hard. Happy to say that all that has changed since they introduced the new stuff back 2017 when they introduced the ADDIX lineup. I was skeptical too, but gave it a chance and am super glad I did, because the NN/HD in SpeedGrip 2.6" set I got, are really amazing, they roll so good, yet have amazing traction and I got both on sale for like 50-60% normal retail.
> _**Silverbansheebike** \- I had a poor experience with the NN, but this was around 2012. Not sure if because they were OEM spec maybe the compound was different... but they never wore down, which means they never really gripped anything either! It sure was fast, though._
