Tyres

I've never come across these before , but I'm open to the idea - if the blurb is to be believed they might be good for a c5.  How much do they cost ?

The cheapest offer for Schwalbe "Big Apple" ballon tyres I found today here in germany is an ebay seller who offers the 12" tyres for EUR 12,90, the 16" ones for 18,90 each, plus shipment 4,90. For a complete set that's 56,60 Euros, if I added correctly.

Just a quick update regarding the Schwalbe City jet tyres...they've been fitted to "challenger" as mentioned earlier in this topic, with the orginal set fitted last year nearly due for a change. A set of City jets have also coped with the torture inflicted upon them since being fitted to the rear wheels of the c-5000 

Note: the c-5000 is managing standing start quarter miles on the drag strip in 21seconds , so I am even more confident the City Jets are up to the job on a standard 12v c5
