I am skeptical of claims that a tire can deliver a good ride and amazing longevity at a price significantly below competitors that specialize in one or the other.
Tire quality is primarily a function of raw materials used to build the tire. Quality materials typically cost more than lessor quality materials. Labor costs in Germany and Japan are high, but then tire making is highly automated. In any event, Schwalbe manufactures its tires in Indonesia. There is a lot of competition in the tire market. I doubt very much that Grand Bois, Schwalbe and Continental are expensive because there owners all decided they would get rich off unsuspecting cyclists.
