Thanks for the info, everyone. They seem like decent tires. so I will just 
keep and ride them. I've got other spares around to put on if I "tire" of 
them. :-)

I started using Flash tires about three years ago and have been happy with 
them. 
Average 40 to 60 miles a week commuting on these and have had one flat in 
the last year.
They roll fine and are considerably more affordable than the Schwalbe 
Marathons.
I'm using 26 x 1.5's but may go to a 1.75 next time around.

Rubena is a Czech tire manufacturer, as as far as I know, the only 
all-European tire production company. While Schwalbe, Continental, etc. are 
"European" tire companies, much of their production is done in Asia and 
other places, while every Rubena tire is made in the Czech Republic. 
They've been making a push into the North American market in the past few 
years, and Cyclone here in Portland distributes them.

The "Flash" is, for want of a better term, their Marathon equivalent. 
Haven't had a pair, but know others who have and have had no complaints.

I've owned a few of their "City Hoppers", which are a Big Apple equivalent, 
and I've liked them.

yours,
Shawn

In the past Riv, has warned that there may be a tire substitution if the 
tires on one's invoice are out of stock at the time bike is built up and 
ready.

If you call them and ask, I'm sure they will explain what happened.

If you were sold Marathon Greens then that's what you should get .  You 
should be calling Riv on this one .
