Duranos aren't my favourite tyre (the blow-off pressure is laughably low, lower than the minimum pressure on better tyres) but they are quite comfortable. I got a new pair last week but the front one has a "kink" in it which is obvious when spinning the wheel or riding. The rim is perfectly true, the tyre is properly seated and the tube isn't trapped under the bead. As it's a folding tyre, they sometimes get a bit bent in the box and this comes out after being inflated for a few hours, but this isn't going away. It can't do much for handling and looks silly.
I think I'm going to have to send it back for a replacement. Is this common with the cheaper Schwalbe tyres? I had the same issue with a pair of Specialized MTB tyres years ago.
