If weight is not an issue as a cyclist then I will say this is the best all round tyre for the ATB cyclist the commuter and long haul touring cyclist.
Its virtually bullet proof and had nothing but praise about this tyre, a lot of the Dutch bike manufacturers now fit and including Pashley Marathon and Narathon plus to thier cyles as standard due to the problems a fully enclosed chaincase brings with the bike in ease of dealing with a puncture.
Dont come cheap but you will suffer very little downtime with this tyre and you could go belt and braces and use a puncture proof innertube as well
The Stelvio is a top competition tyre with Dual Compound Technology. The centre tread is hard wearing for longer life and low rolling resistance. The side tread is a high-quality Silica mixture providing safe grip on wet surfaces. Schwalbe have built additional adhesion into the tyre with a file cut texture.
