Awaiting replaement from Schwalbe of the 2010 tire. One of the blow outs cause me to crash pretty hard as I was rounding a corner. If you have these tires, don't wait for them to blow off the rim, send them in....

Bud, I believe it to be the same recall(I can't remember). Mark Metcalfe forwarded this to me ,so I thought I would post the information. Be safe than sorry.

Take Care, Nelson.

Take Care,

I haven't had any issues with Kojaks, in my opinion they are extremely fast and seem to last

Yes this is different, a different failure mode. It might be caused by the same defect though.

This was posted by a member on the Catrike forum today:

I just got off the phone with one of the reps at Schwalbe USA (The individuals name is Guy) and he said to stop using Ultremo R tires. The recall is on all Ultremo R tires and not any specific ones. He went on to say that Schwalbe can not determine which Ultremo R tires are good or defective, so they are recalling all Ultremo R tires. If you got one take the picture of the tire and the serial number inside the tire. Get on Schwalbetires.com and fill out the application for Ultremo R recall tires.
