What's the disadvantage of folding tyres? They seem to have the same SRP,
weigh significantly less, have the same recommended pressure, and can be
folded up. Are they harder to get off the rim, more likely to blow off the
rim if over-inflated?

Mark.

I disagree that they steel and kevlar bead tyres have the same price.
Folders are usually more expensive.

William. The folding Schwalbe Stelvios are twice the price of the wire-
bead version, so I am hoping to get plenty more service out of the
Stelvio Light I scrounged for Cosimo last year...
