Kind of a newbie question, I guess.
On my Haibike, both OEM tyres are 29x2.60 Nobby Nic. They suit me well, last long (enough) and have (almost) enough grip. Now, I have to replace at least the rear tyre. My plan is to put the one I had on the front last summer on the rear this summer and buy a new one for the front.
Now, the snow and ice is disappearing rapidly, so I guess summer tyre time is coming in a couple of weeks, at the latest during easter.
I would like to go one step softer at the front this time, the Nobby Nic thread pattern works well for my type of riding.
So here comes the question: When I read about Schwalbe's Addix compounds, the are (from hard to soft) speed, speedgrip, soft, ultrasoft.
Their current range of tyres are also colour coded. However, my OEM Nobby Nic is marked like this:
It had no coloured stripe when new. I guess this is an earlier version, but cannot find any description when I google it.
How does this compound fit into the speed, speedgrip etc range?
Thanks!
