The tires say HS 308 on them 700x45c 47-622 28x1.75 The little nubblies are still on the sidewalls by the generator groove but not on the tread that hits the road but there is a slight remnant of the tire mold line on the center of the tread more on what was the front tire less on the back. Reflective strip & Big 'Schwalbe Marathon' in white on the sidewall. Actually I have a third tire with the same markings except it has a little red 'Kevlar MB Belted' area on one sidewall and 'Schwalbe Marathon' in smaller letters. This tire has only been mounted, never ridden and is virtually new. I'd throw it in but it inflates to around 38mm instead of 41mm so not sure what the deal is....I'd like to find a match for it. These are a good set of tires I just need to be able to afford some 700x35 Green Guards for my SO so I can ride it to work over glass littered streets.
