is this the Schwalbe Marathon HS420 tire ? current Schwalbe catalog doesn't show an "RLX" model. thanks ...

Got my 20x1.50 tires today. They are HS420 E Bike teady tires. Clearly identity them on the sidewall and by stock I.D. number from Schwalbe.

I want to mount this tire to a bike friday and with my wheels I require the 406 size tire. Is this the tire for me?

Yes (unless it's mislabeled. Fractional 20" sizes, e.g., 20 x 1 3/4, would not be 406, decimal 20" sizes, e.g., 20 x 1.5, should always be 406. This is according to Sheldon Brown (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html#decimal).

Under the size selection, is there any difference between the 26x1.75 and 26x1.75 Inch? Those are the same tire sizes correct?

The thing to watch for is decimal vs fractional. Whether or not they include the inch on the label varies with the manufacturer, and is not important. However, 26 x 1.75 is NOT the same as 26 x 1 3/4. 26 x 1.75 (1.5, 2.0, etc.) is the same for everybody BUT Schwinn. Schwinn uses fractional, e.g., 26 x 1 3/4", and their parts are NOT interchangeable with anyone else's.

Is the tire shipped folded? Or is it shipped in its original round and bulky self? What are the shipping dimensions?

This one came in a cardboard shipping box roughly 30x30x4. I ordered a Marathon Plus as well, but from a different vendor, and it was folded and shipped in white shipping wrap. Depends on the vendor, I guess. Either way, the tires are awesome! Never buy anything else again.
